Remember how we sometimes would have quality players who might sign with us, but we lacked the finances to give them a reasonable salary? Well, we just beat out FC Bayern resigning, and another team that made an offer for Pierre-Emile Hojberg, a player I added to my shortlist after looking over their roster when we played them. He’s amazing. You’ll see.
Let’s begin with a defensive set up in today’s Taca match away at Maritimo, our first game of the year. They score in the 9th off an IFK header. Rondon reciprocates in the 30th after Lucas Castro hit the crossbar on a shot and it rebounded to him. Then a boring game results. We hit 1-1 at the end and its extra time. Penalty kicks.
They sink their 1st.
Espinosa sinks his – 1-1
Peratta gets his hands on their shot but can’t keep it out. Our GK Peratta sinks it. 2-2.
They sink their 3rd. Franny Castro sinks his. 3-3
They are at 4-3. Daniel Candeais steps up and blasts one in as well 4-4.
They hit their 5th. Can Luis Martins keep us in sudden death? He can! 5-5
Sudden Death – They make it. Rodrigues does not, and is pushed aside. They win in penalties. We are now out of the Taca da Portugal.
