Arouca game is here. We haven’t beaten them yet in 3 tries, but this team is good. I swap in Djaniny and Skolnik into the lineups. I begin controlling. They give us some pressure early, but off a corner kick, Freire heads in a score in the 24th minute. After that, it’s really quiet and we hit the half. Don’t get complacent. I sub in J Sousa, Reginaldo and Hernani Costa for tired folks. Sousa gets a score in the 63rd minute. We back off control to counter and just hold off their attack. Very little comes, and we win the game, quietly, 2-0. Freire, with a good performance, was MOM. Skolnik and Defederico had assists. Well, at least we got the Arouca monkey off our collective backs. That was Sousa’s first league goal.
We have been drawn against Leca in round 3 of the Taca. We are at home vs the National Champ – A team.
Mexer is now 26, so I approach him about tutoring Hernani Costa. Nah, still won’t let me. Ah well.
