“Encore” Nene deserves to win and consolidates AVS’ leadership in the II League.

This Saturday, ABC temporarily isolated themselves at the top of the II Football League after beating last-place Lanc Villaverdense 2-0 at home with Nene’s brace in the fifth round match.

The wingers met Aves one-on-one, and the locals, who had previously shared the championship lead with Santa Clara, soon seized the initiative.

Nene’s iron shot in the third minute was still met by Vilaverdense’s response in the seventh minute with a strike from Jair Semedo, who had difficulty defending Pedro Trigueira, who was again called upon to intervene in the ensuing play. corner kick.

It was a decisive test in the life of Villaverdense in the first half: AVS increased the pressure and threatened the goal in two moments: Ze Ricardo again found the iron in the 13th minute, and Luis Silva made a goal in the 23rd with an error that almost hit the target.

In the third, ABC scored the inevitable Nene in the 27th minute: Anthony deflected a left-footed shot into the first post and the Brazilian striker planted his foot in anticipation before confirming the goal with a header. .

The second half started with opportunities for both goals, but the goalkeepers got the better of Ze Ricardo and Harramis, who again troubled Pedro Trigueira in the 60th minute, three goals before ABC scored the second.

Mercado started on the right and shot from the edge of the penalty area, Ivo Goncalves parried the shot aside, and Nene combined with defender Rafael Viegas to make the winning rebound.

This move was later approved by the video referee and dashed any hopes of outsiders for a positive result.

With this well-deserved victory, their fourth in five games, AVS are isolated in first place with 13 points, while the yet-to-win Lenk Villaverdense remains in last place with just one point.
