Tiago Motta e Nuno Gomes ausentes na 4ª. feira Abril 1, 2006

Se a lesão do Nuno Gomes desaponta os benfiquistas, uma coisa é certa. Em Nou Camp não vão ficar penalties por marcar por mão de Motta. É que o jogador do Barcelona também se lesionou esta noite no jogo com o Real Madrid que terminou empatado a um golo. Esta eliminatória continua assim na senda de lesionados e ausentes. Nuno Gomes depois de cumprir castigo não joga de novo (por lesão). Quem vai reaparecer é Pujol que cumpriu o castigo na primeira mão.

Benfica ganha mas perde Nuno Gomes para Nou Camp

Belenenses 1 – 2 Benfica

Espectáculo na primeira parte … e depois pensamento em Barcelona

Na primeira parte assistimos a um excelente jogo com o Benfica em grande a entrar na área belenense com grande frequencia e facilidade, mas foi o Belenenses quem se adiantou no marcador. Um excelente pontapé de José Pedro, de fora da área, com a bola a fugir para o 2º. poste de Moretto que não chegou à bola.

O Benfica poucos minutos volvidos teve o empate à vista com Ricardo Rocha no ataque a rematar para a bola bater na barra ainda desviada por Marco Aurélio. E aos 14′ Nuno Gomes isola-se, demora a rematar, um defesa do Belenenses (Sandro Gaúcho) faz o tackle e Nuno Gomes remata com violencia mas no pé do adversário e sai lesionado com torção no joelho esquerdo, tendo que ser substituido e estará naturalmente ausente de Barcelona. Já nos banco dos suplentes chorava com desalento depois de no jogo da primeira mão já ter estado igualmente ausente.

O Benfica, no entanto, continuou a porfiar no ataque, Beto levou a bola até à entrada da área do Belenenses e depois Miccoli a rodar e a fazer um golo soberbo aos 23′.

O domínio encarnado continuou, Micolli atrasou a bola em posição frontal mas ainda longe da baliza para Karagounis que disparou para um golo feliz ( o seu primeiro na Liga portuguesa) com a bola a bater ainda no relvado e a entrar junto do 2º. poste com algumas semelhanças com o golo do Belenenses. O Benfica tinha virado o resultado ainda com quinze minutos para jogar na primeira parte.

Na segunda parte no Belenenses surge Paulo Sérgio no lugar de Fábio Januário e logo aos 2′ o recém-entrado isolado por Silas perde o 2-2 ao rematar deficientemente ao lado. Este lance deu o tom ao jogo. O Belenenses que nos últimos jogos tem subido imenso de rendimento tomou o controlo do jogo com o Benfica fechado no seu meio-campo, muitas vezes comn seis e mais jogadores dentro da área, perante uma incapacidade gritante de gerir a posse da bola. Nem com as substituições o Benfica melhora e s´o nos ultimos dez minutos o Benfica finalmente tem algum controlo de bola, chega-se à baliza do Belenenses e numa jogada colectiva Miccoli-Simão pelo centro da área é solicitado o envolvimento de Léo que flectiu para o centro fugindo aos adversários e rematou à quina do poste com a barra da baliza de Marco Aurélio.

Já em tempos de desconto um duplo cabeceamento na área encarnada podia ter dado o 2-2, mas Meyong desperdiçou.

Arbitragem muito fraca de Pedro Henriques, amarelos sem critério (exibiu alguns que não se justificavam e outras faltas muito nmais graves ficaram por punir), muitas faltas por marcar e ainda um penalty por assinalar por domínio de bola com o braço de Manduca na área defensiva. Na nossa opinião, sem condições para ser nomeado para o derby Sporting-Porto, o que complica extraordinariamente a escolha.

BELENENSES – Marco Aurélio; Amaral, Rolando, Pelé e Rui Jorge (Djurdjevic 84′); Sandro Gaúcho (Dady 74′); Ruben Amorim, José Pedro e Fábio Januário (Paulo Sérgio aos 46′); Silas e Meyong.

BENFICA – Moretto; Ricardo Rocha, Luisão, Anderson e Léo; Beto e Petit; Karagounis (Geovanni aos 60′), Nuno Gomes (Manduca aos 18′) e Simão; Miccoli (Mantorras aos 88′).

Golos: 1-0 José Pedro (8′) ; 1-1 Miccoli (24′); 1-2 Karagounis (30′)
27′ Cartão amarelo para Beto (Benfica).
59′ Cartão amarelo para Anderson (Benfica), por agarrar Meyong.
64′ Cartão amarelo para Petit (Benfica), por falta dura sobre Paulo Sérgio.
70′ Cartão amarelo para Ruben Amorim (Belenenses).
71′ Cartão amarelo para Sandro Gaúcho (Belenenses).
74′ Cartão amarelo para Paulo Sérgio (Belenenses)por entrada violenta sobre Geovanni.

Sporting faz décima vitória consecutiva

V. Guimarães 0 – 1 Sporting

Liedson resolveu…

Adivinha-se um jogo difícil no caminho do Sporting para a luta pelo título e assim aconteceu. A primeira parte foi um jogo muito fechado, com poucos espaços, muitos jogadores a cairem sobre a zona da bola e poucas oportunidades, sendo a maior, já quase no final, resultante de um passe errado de cabeça de Cléber, para a sua baliza sobrevoando o guarda-redes de Cléber com Liedson com hipóteses de golo mas Geromel foi mais rápido e cortou para canto.

Na segunda parte o jogo foi mais veloz com as equipas dispostas à vitória com substituições ofernsivas em ambos os lados e também lances polémicos. O Primeiro na área do Sporting com Polga tentar dar o empurrãozinho da ordem só que o avançado vitoriano foi mais rápido e o empurrão sofreu-o já nas costas, com motivos para penalty na minha opinião que Lucílio Baptista não apontou. A seguir o Sporting por Liedson marca na recarga a um remate defendido por Nilson, mas os festejos foram interrompidos porque o auxiliar assinalou (bem) fora de jogo, dado o ligeiro adiantamento de Liedson em relação à linha da bola (e à defesa) aquando do primeiro remate.

Outro lance polémico este já na área vimaranense envolveu Koke e Cléber com o primeiro a cair por alguma pressão dos braços do defesa vimaranense com o árbitro também a deixar andar.

Era tempo do Sporting tentar mais alguma coisa no ataque mas foi no aproveitar erro do adversário que mais uma vez o Sporting ganhou. Dois vitorianos, à vontade, desentendem-se no ataque à bola e o passe vai para João Moutinho que de primeira isola Liedson que fuzilou Nilson. Faltando dez minutos para o final o Sporting geriu bem o tempo restante confoirmando uma vitória de grande significado que permite aos leões continuarem a depender só de si. Já quanto ao Vitória de Guimara~es que se bateu bem mais uma vez a intranquilidade da classificação provoca erros imperdoáveis e assim o espectro da 2ª. Divisão é bem mais viável do que se admitiria.

Para além dos dois lances polémicos de possível penalty, um dos assistentes fartou-se de falhar na primeira parte ao assinalar três foras de jogo, completamente disparatados, a jogadores visitantes

V.GUIMARÃES – Nilson; Vítor Moreno, Geromel, Cléber e Paíto; Otacílio (Svart 76′) e Flávio Meireles (Targino 82′); Neca (Antchouet 69′), Benachour e Wesley; Saganowski.

SPORTING – Ricardo; Abel, Tonel, Polga e Caneira; Custódio; Carlos Martins (Nani 71′), Sá Pinto (Douala 78′) e João Moutinho; Deivid (Koke 64′) e Liedson.

Golo: Liedson aos 80′

Cart~~oes: Amarelo para Liedson aos 45′

Benfica – Porto na final da Taça de Portugal em Basquetebol

O Benfica venceu esta tarde, nas meias-finais da Taça de Portugal em basquetebol, o Lusitânia dos Açores por 74-69 e vai defrontar amanhã em Anadia o FC Porto que também hoje já havia ganho na primeira meia-final à equipa do Aveiro Basquete por Aveiro Basket por 87-72.

O jogo Benfica-Lusitanoa foi sempre muito equilibrado com diferença de poucos poucos a separar as equipas e só nos últimos segundos o jogo se decidiu quando com dois pontos de atrazo a equipa dos Açores falhou um ataque e os encarnados com um triplo colocaram a vantagem em cinco pontos. Já no jogo anterior fora por um ponto que o Benfica batera o Ginásio (67-66).

Já o jogo do Porto como o resultado demonstra foi mais desiquilibrado e a passagem do Porto à final cedo se fez anunciar.
