Figueiredo, who scored Alverca’s goal in their 2-1 defeat against Benfica, lamented leaving the Estádio da Luz without any points.

Figueiredo, Alverca player, in statements made during the BTV Flash Interview after the 2-1 defeat against Benfica, in a match counting towards the 21st round of the National Championship:

Match analysis

Initially, we stuck to the plan that the coach presented to us during the week. We were doing very well, we managed to score a goal, a draw that was very important for us. But, due to a lapse in concentration on our part, something we need to correct during the week, we conceded the second goal. Now it’s time to focus on the next game and work towards achieving our objective.

Special significance for marking in Luz

Certainly, it’s very important to score against a great team. And now it’s time to move on. Unfortunately, we couldn’t get the draw or the win, but we must continue.

What can be expected from Alverca?

“You can expect a very combative team, one that always seeks victory and will always give its best to win the three points in every match.
