Nacional beats Angrense and continues in the Portuguese Cup
Noone afternoon in which the rain hardly let up, at Campo Municipal de Angra do Heroísmo, in the Azores, the Madeira team, which occupied 14th place in the second tier, showed their superiority.
Even so, Sport Club Angrense, which rose to the Portuguese Championship this season, and is 13th in the D series, had opportunities to at least reduce the advantage.
The game was arranged in the morning, with a first half, with no dangerous moves for both teams.
At 35 minutes, Tomás Botelho hands the ball to the protective equipment and Rúben Macedo to a large area, where, after some confusion and a save by Gonçalo Toste, Carlos Daniel for throwing the ball to the back of Angrense’s goal.
In the second half, the coaches made changes to the ‘elevens’ and the pace of the game accelerated, with several dangerous shots for both teams.
Nacional were happier again, increasing their lead in the 57th minute. The cross was Rúben Maced’s second, the ball hit João Maria and Zé Manuel scored the goal of the afternoon.
