KLÉBER DOESN'T GIVE ANY CHANCE TO PAÇOS DE FERREIRA

​

FC Porto ensured the predictions and won with easiness against FC Paços de Ferreira. Os Dragões always had the control of the game, and killed any glimpse of hope for Os Castores already in the first half.

The first goal for FC Porto was scored by a header of Rolando after a corner taken by James Rodríguez in the 3th minute of the game. Rolando almost scored from a header again in the 15th minute after James Rodríguez took a crossing free kick towards the box, but somehow Cássio sent the ball to corner.

In the 22th minute, the Uruguayan winger Cristian Rodríguez ran with the ball by the left side in a counter attack without being challenged, and delivered a strong low cross towards the far post where Kléber was there just to put the ball into the net. In the 39th minute of the game, the Portuguese International João Moutinho attempted a long range shot, but it gone way over the bar of Cássio.

Kléber scored again in the 41th minute, after receiving an wonderful pass by the Belgian midfielder Steven Defour through Paços de Ferreira left sector of the defensive line. This gave a confortable and reliable goal difference to FC Porto, giving them 3 points already.

FC Porto dominated the game in the second half too, managing to get 3 corners for them in a row, but didn't manage to score in any of those. Djalma and Moutinho also had their opportunities to enlarge the difference too.

Paços de Ferreira managed to score the honour goal in the 69th minute of the game, in a quite similar action of FC Porto's 2nd goal. The Paraguayan striker Lorenzo Melgarejo gave the assist to the Portuguese U19 International Caetano, product of FC Porto youth system.

SPORTING CP SUFFERS TO WIN

​

Sporting CP suffered a lot to win against Paços de Ferreira, playing in Paços stadium tonight. Paços de Ferreira's manager tested a new formation , using two advanced side backs to retain possession. Initially, this tactic seemed to be a wrong choice by their manager, after Sporting's first goal in the 4th minute, in a similar action of the 2nd goal of FC Porto in their last game. Things got worse for Paços in the 8th minute when Sporting's captain Polga headed the ball into the net after a cross from the Spanish winger Diego Capel.

Sporting had the chance to secure the win with Bojinov in the 24th minute, after a mistake by Fabio Faria. Paços de Ferreira reduced the difference with a close range effort by Lorenzo Melgarejo, being assisted by Paços vice-captain Manuel José, in the 41th minute of the first half.

In the second half, Paços de Ferreira new formation started to show some effect, when their ball possesion raised to 58-60 %. André Leão almost scored with a long range effort in the 56th minute, but the ball passed just over the bar. In the 71th minute, Caetano gave a superb pass to Melgarejo, who shoot the ball in the post, and it bounced clear. Sporting looked to be in a bad situation since that action, when Paços grew up in the game trying to score the equalizer, but Sporting could hold their goal difference until the end of the game.

​

Young full back Diogo Figueiras gave Paços the 3 points today with a wonderful shot from the left wing, from about 45 meters. Both teams had numerous attempts of score, but the poor finishing of both teams made the game look quite boring.

Nice mate! Same as me.

By the way, I have the chance to take Sebastian Boenisch on a free transfer, and also Juan Arango. I might sell few players to try to pay their salaries.

Chemmam is currently better then Balde, and my staff reports Balde could play at the same level of Chemmam, and also, Balde has a cheaper wage, and also is five years younger. What you recommend? Should I stay with those three players and sell another? A lot of my players end their contracts this season, and I might not renew few of them. (=
