Week 7 saw a number of closely fought encounters with just a single goal separating the victors and losers in several of the matches. The competition for this week’s feature was not as clear due to the attritional nature of the weekend’s action. Rodrigo Pinho was certainly a contender as his late brace secured a vital victory for Marítimo over Moreirense.
However once again we are focused on Famalicão as their incredible season rumbled on with a comeback win over Belenenses. Brazilian striker Anderson Silva came off the bench and changed the game completely, and he is the PortuGOAL Figure of the Week.
Week 7 was business as usual in many respects as last season’s top 5 all recorded victories, albeit in narrow fashion, each of them winning by a single goal margin.
Jorge Manuel Rebelo Fernandes, known in the football world as Silas, has been appointed coach of Sporting Clube de Portugal, replacing interim manager Leonel Pontes.
Week 6 of Liga NOS saw Famalicão’s fairytale story continue with a late win at Sporting, while Porto and Benfica remained in hot pursuit with victories of their own.
A late Sebastián Coates own goal continued Famalicão’s dream start to the season as the promoted side secured a comeback win to stay top of Liga NOS, winning 2-1 away at Sporting, who drop to 7th.
