This Sunday, Portimonense won 4-1 at Boavista in one of the games that opened the 19th round of the I Portuguese Football League, and overtook the “chess players” in the standings, rising conditionally to ninth place.
At the Bessa Stadium in Porto, the Algarve team won in the first half thanks to goals from Hélio Varela (18 minutes), Jasper (25) and Carlinhos (35), before finishing off the victory through stoppage time through Luan. Silva (90+5), returning to triumph after defeat in the last round, rose five positions in the championship and is in ninth place with 21 points.
Boavista did go down through Makuta in the 68th minute but did not avoid a second defeat in a row – they have just one win in their last 14 league games – and have now dropped to 10th place with 20 points.
