Paredes returns to take down opponents from the upper echelon and continues in the Portuguese Cup
Correia scored the only goal of the game, with a header, in the 32nd minute.
União de Paredes, from the Portuguese Championship, won this Sunday against Torreense, from Liga 3, by 1-0, and qualified for the round of 16 of the Portuguese Cup, in a game resolved by Correia.
The forward scored the only goal of the game, with a header, in the 32nd minute, offering the victory to the team that continues to make history in the Portuguese Cup, after having met Chaves, from SABSEG League, in the previous round.
The game started divided, without evident superiority of either team, very evident in the number of offensive actions achieved by the two sets.
The Paredes team adjusted to the visiting team’s record, from above, and got the advantage in the best play of the first half and probably of the entire match, on 32 minutes, when Ismael crossed from the right for Correia’s accurate header.
The first reaction of the Torres Vedras team came at the feet of Alex, with two intentional shots, in the 35th and 40th minutes, respectively, and was accentuated at the beginning of the second, not so much by the dangerous spears created, but by more aggressiveness without the ball and some speed in the ball’s circulation.
Daúto turned to more experienced players who had no bench, but at no time did Torreense manage to score a clear goal, faced a team that knew how to resist and almost at the end, in the 86th minute, on the counterattack, wasted the possibility of making the second and close the result.
Ismael, one of the best teams on the field, isolated on the right, but reinforced the defense against Carlos Henriques, in a final game in which the Portuguese Championship team managed to hold the deserved advantage and move forward in the competition.
