Lusitânia, last in League 3 (Serie B), qualified, this Monday, for the fourth round of the Portuguese Cup, by winning at Penafiel, leader of the II League, 3-2, after extra time, in an exciting game .
The Azoreans could not have started the game better at the home of the northerners, scoring after two minutes, when Nicolas ran away from Diogo Brito and crossed to Celso Sidney’s first post.
Lusitânia, very quick in transitions, almost scored twice after nine minutes, but Nicolas and, with insistence, Pedro do Rio were unable to beat the Penafiel goalkeeper, a team that, with some happiness, managed to reach a draw shortly afterwards, at 11 .
Diogo Sá saved a shot from outside the area for a corner and, from his marking, the ball was left for João Silva to cross and Suker to deflect into the goal.
The draw lasted a match, because, at 13, Pedro do Rio was carried into the Penafiel area and took charge of the penalty himself, giving Lusitânia the advantage.
The game could have had more goals until halftime, which arrived with both teams reduced to 10, with expulsions due to the accumulation of yellow cards for Gustavo Fernandes (24′) from Pena Fidel and the Azoreans’ maestro Tomás Azevedo (44′). .
The match had almost everything, but the artistic note was missing, which arrived in the 58th minute by Zé Leite, who scored the equalizer after an individual play and several opponents overcome.
With quality decreasing, the Azoreans ended up better, with superiority, especially physical, which extended to extra time, a period in which Nicolas became the hero of the tie, when he suffered the foul and converted the corresponding penalty, in the 115th minute.
In addition to the 120, Nicolas and Rúben Pereira could have given another color to the scoreboard, but the result of the match postponed from Sunday to this Monday due to “constraints in the air connections” of the Azorean club would not change.
