Way to go Leiria. Excellent result. This will hurt Braga's chances to fight for the title with the big 3....still, I'm always happy to see the underdog win. (was looking at "A Bola Online"....even though there was a game on today, front page is filled with nothing but Benfica news. Typical....only in Portugal).
After a tie with help from the reff, you'd hope Leiria would get a pay-back favor today... Guess not... Braga were clearly much better though, and they came close on a number of occasions to scoring, notably one in the second half that hit the bar.
Sougou , the best on the field had a bomb of a shot that Ricardo just tipped against the crossbar. In this rainy night, didn't see União do much else other than defend. Sporting 2-0 União
The turn around. Domingos half time talk must have inspired his players who scored 2 goals and won this away match. V. SETÚBAL-U. LEIRIA, 1-2 (Amuneke 29'; Paulo Gomes 35', Slusarski 52')
U. Leiria 2-0 Academica. Slusarski scored both goals. Only about one thousand spectactors in the stadium on a sunny afternoon. The team is now in 5th place along with Benfica.
HELL YEA, and it's the first time we beat Académica at the Lis, and definatly won't be the last!!!!!!
Ivanildo on the 27th minute scores the lone and winning goal for U. Leiria. A game played in bad weather and a bad pitch. The visitors took all 3 points from the Restelo stadium. Belenenses 0-1 União Leiria. União in third place as it stands.
NACIONAL-U. LEIRIA, 2-1 Sougou scored on the 73rd minute to tie the match, but the Leirienses fell asleep and Nacional re-establish the lead 3 minutes later.
Peçanha saving the PK that Harison took for Leiria. U. LEIRIA-P. FERREIRA, 0-0 The home team dominated the play and wasted a PK.
Coitado do meu Leiria!!! My guys need to start scoring!!!! We play so good and we get nothing for it. We need a new Direcção to get the fans and city to support the team. More fans equals MAIS DINHEIRO!!
Leiria players From what i have seen Harison and Sougou look like good players but i dont get to see to much of Leiria so i just wanted to get other peoples opinions on them.
Re: Leiria players Sougou is probably their best player (he played for Setubal) last year. He's already mentioned on being one of Porto's "most wanted" for next season...
Re: Leiria players he's got alot to learn, so sometimes sitting on the bench is the best for a player. He'll be OK someday, right now Leiria is a good team for him to learn as he goes along.
