Portimonense returned on Sunday to victories in the II Football League, by winning at home by Leixões, 2-1, in matchday 24, in which, with a final period of great glow, he turned the scorer.
Leixões went to the break in advantage, tightly, with the goal of Régis nds, on 29 minutes, and the response Algarve was only truly felt in the last quarter, eventually resulting in the turnaround, with goals by Douglas Grolli (87) and the alternate Elijah Benedict (90+3).
The Portimonense rose to 11th place, with 29 points, two more than Leixões, 13th, which has not won for nine games, eight of them under the guidance of José Mota – since January only scored five draws – and ended the game reduced to 10 units, for the expulsion of Rafael Santos in discounts.
Leixões took over the ‘expenses’ of the game in the first half, being close to the goal, by Simãozinho and Fabrício Isidoro (shot to the right post).
At 29, this time following a studied bid, Régis nds came next to the penalty brand to finish with his left foot, after Jean Filipe’s corner and, seven minutes, Rafael Sousa wasted the 2-0, in a header after corner.
The Algarvians, who in the first half they had no response to the opponent, dominated after the break, an ascendant who accentuated with one last quarter of great time.
Daniel Figueira was accumulating great defenses, in the shots of also Monteiro and Heitor, but Ricardo Pessoa’s formation even turned around, with accurate heads of Douglas Grolli and Elijah Benedict.
