Re: Portuguese betandwin.com Liga 2005/2006
Braga is showing to be a contender for the title. Like I said before if they keep up until january i'll then consider them a real treat.
Porto crushed Academica 5-1, one of the goals didn't existed, a mighty right footed strike from Cesar Peixoto, left-back and the club's current lead scorer, that hit the crossbar and then the goal line, but didn't went all the way in. But at the time Porto was already winning by 2 goals, Goals by Lucho Gonzalez after a great team play, first by Lisandro passing to Quaresma that crossed low to the box for Lucho to score. Second goal came by Lisandro with a header after cross by Bosingwa. Peixoto's goal was third. Then Lisandro added another taking advantage after Jorginho's strike that the keeper couldn't hold, then came a classy goal by Lucho after a long kick by the keeper Baia the ball went all the way into the box and Lucho with a master touch lobbed the ball over the keeper. Consolation goal by Academica with a great strike by Marcel.
Benfica lost against Braga, another game with serious mistakes by the referee. First goal came by Anderson after a cross by Petit. Braga equalized later by Cesinha with alot of help by keeper Quim that should have hold onto the ball. Bevacqua then hit the post with a stunning strike, but he later did score with a header. Then the referre decided to play funny guy and awarded a penalty because of an handball that didn't existed. Nuno Gomes scored, this was at the 90+3 minute, but then 2 minutes later Maxi Bevacqua with a header made sure justice was served, althoug on offside position. Some might say it's poetic justice. Benfica with Simão is one thing, without him is another. Deserved win for Braga.
The Penafiel - Sporting match didn't had much of interesting, Liedson scored the only goal after confusion in the box, using is acrobatic skills to reach the ball. No real danger for both keepers, but in the end the winner was found.
