Toni Martinez who had been subbed on for Luis Diaz quickly trapped the ball and made as if to cut inside, but a Rio Ave player was in his path but that didn’t deter him at all as that was part of the plan.
Buying enough ti for Zaidu to run past him towards the left by making all sorts of movents to slow down the ga, Toni Martinez finally sent a pass down left into the path of Zaidu Sanusi.
Not taking a touch to control the ball’s pace, Zaidu sent a curling cross inside the penalty box with his left foot.
As the ball flew into the penalty box, a Rio Ave defender in the middle of the penalty box jumped into the path of the ball aiming to clear the ball as soon as it reached him, but he didn’t get the chance to do so as Sergio Oliveira sohow appeared like a shadow in his path and got his head into the path of the ball first with a diving header.
Needless to say, the goalkeeper was no match for the header and the net was sent bulging for the third ti in the second half, signaling Porto’s sixth goal of the ga.
{Diving header! Goal!!!}
{Again they get past the Rio Ave’s goalkeeper! Porto just wouldn’t stop!}
{They have their sixth!}
{When the manager subbed on the goalscorer, we were all wondering what the manager was doing bringing on a player who normally functioned in the midfield, but now, we wonder no longer!}
{He’s proven himself upfront with an absolute peach of a goal!} The comntator’s excitent was once again revived by the Porto team and he did not hesitate to share his excitent with all the viewers and listeners of the ga.
The Porto fans who had been keeping their eye on the ga were ecstatic at their teams racking up the score and levels of excitent that only welled up in them during league gas began to show up on their faces as they watched their team dominate and decimate the Rio Ave side.
Anticipation for the new season imdiately filled their minds as they began to have confidence in winning the Liga NOS title back-to-back three tis.
Back at the CTFD Portogaia, the Porto players didn’t know what the fans were beginning to conclude in their minds, but they personally felt excitent and were already anticipating the new season.
But that didn’t an the match was over so they quickly went back to their half of the field, planning to push on with this burst of energy till the finish line.
The match soon resud and the ball soon started flying around the field once again, letting the viewers and the Rio Ave team know that Porto weren’t done yet with racking up their tally.
As for whether they would be able to trouble the scoreboard operator even further, that remained unknown, but it was clear that the Porto team was already working on making that thought a reality.
#86th minute…
The Porto team had been looking to get another goal, but perhaps because it was the dying minutes of the ga, the Rio Ave team had suddenly been bursting out with attacking attempts that had managed to push the Porto team out of their half and the ga alternated between Porto defending while Rio Ave attacked and vice versa.
Rio Ave were currently in possession of the ball and were passing the ball around cleverly while evading the Porto players, but as they passed the ball, one of the Rio Ave midfielders who was with the ball tried to make a pass to his team’s right winger, but Wilson Manafa suddenly burst off his line and interrupted the pass.
Intercepting the pass with a burst of movent, he pushed the ball forward and burst out on a counterattack, running towards the Rio Ave half of the field.
He didn’t keep the ball for long however and soon sent the ball forward to Otavio who quickly took control of the ball and continued the counterattack.
The players of the Rio Ave team were already running after the Porto player who had burst forward with the ball, but they hadn’t been able to catch up and Otavio was nearing the final third.
As he neared the final third, he saw Sergio Oliveira running ahead of him and he didn’t hesitate to send the ball into Oliveira’s path.
Oliveira received the ball while adjusting his body position to shield the ball away from his marker as he brought the ball under control.
Holding his marker off, he charged into the box and unleashed the ball with righteous fury, sending the goalkeeper sprawling and unable to reach as the ball slamd into the bottom left corner of the goal.
{What a beautiful display of counter-attacking football!}
{Pace, off-the-ball movent, precise passing, and perfect finishing, they had it all and got a goal!}
{Their seventh goal of the ga!}
{A full stop after spelling the words RIO AVE!}
{The Rio Ave manager is covering his eyes in agony, and we can relate!}
{He has a lot to do to prepare his team for the upcoming season after this relegation-worthy performance from his players!] The comntator’s words didn’t pull any punches and cut in deep into the Rio Ave players, their manager, and the team’s supporters.
While this was happening at the stadium, Jason stood up from his seat at the food court, after checking his ti and seeing that he was already running late if he planned to et Sofia after her lectures.
The things he wanted to buy would have to wait as he had spent his ti watching his teammates, but after seeing the seventh goal, he estimated that there weren’t likely to be any more goals coming from the Porto team.
Quickly walking out of the food court while making sure to avoid the crowd of Benfica fans who were discussing earlier, he quickly drove to the University of Lisbon’s facility of dicine.
Luckily, he managed to get there on ti to pick up Sofia who was just leaving classes.
Waving goodbye to a group of her friends, Sofia got into the car and unlike the previous day when she had clamd up while they were together, she began pouring out her grievances about the day to Jason.
Jason listened as he drove to where he had planned for them to have dinner, smoothly controlling the steering wheel with one hand.
“Can you imagine that this guy still gave us a term paper and an assignnt after giving us a quiz, and it’s just a mathematics class, what do I need mathematics of this level for as a nurse,” Sofia spoke animatedly.
Suddenly rembering sothing he had seen in his research overnight, Jason suddenly interrupted her,
“See, this is why I hate maths, they’re always talking about x and y when they should be talking about u and i.”
