Chptr 27's.

The match between Varzim and Arouca was still in the first half but the scoreline in this match Arouca led with 2 goals.

Both goals were scored by Sean who was a young player in this match.

This match Arouca and Varzim is getting heated up because Varzim who has been left behind, even though Varzim just left 1 goal behind.

They intend to reply, but in fact they even scored 1 goal again, let alone the player who scored is the same person.

In the 40th minute, the match on the Estadio Municipal Arouca pitch, Varzim was attacking but they attacked with heart because they did not want to repeat the same thing again as the second goal.

The Arouca players also started to calm down even though they were being pressured. They have packed 2 goals, all they need to do now is defend until the end of the first half first.

Varzim who tried to continue to attack successfully and reached the defense area of Arouca's team, but it is only limited to reaching it has not been able to shoot the ball because the guard in the defense is stronger than in the middle area earlier.

Varzim turned the ball back to draw the Arouca players out.

But what happens is that only Sean is left in front of the disturbing and chasing those who are in possession of the ball.

This is a coach's instruction to hold the stamina of other players in order to survive stronger in the inner area.

The coach is also quite satisfied with Sean's performance, so using Sean now is better and can replace him in the 2nd round later.

Varzim's players who kept trying to equalise kept pressing on the player and Arouca's territory but they felt they were the ones who were depressed.

They feel like they are entering a bird's nest that can't move anywhere after having mastered the ball for a long time.

But they also remain patient because they do not want to repeat this.

Time went on, not even the whistle.

The players who tried to press from earlier could only accept it, they admitted that Arouca's defense was very strong and thick.

Sean and the players entered the dressing room for a break, including receiving new instructions from the coach.

In the dressing room, though,

"Sean did a good job in this first-half game."

"You defend well too, try to keep a clean sheet."

The players all nodded while drinking the mineral water.

"In the 2nd round, we will start kick off. Try to master the ball well and use it to press at the beginning of this."

"If they can score goals for Varzim's players to become more depressed, and they will be frustrated to attack again impatiently."

"After that, we can move to attack freely with a counterattack."

"The essence of the 2nd round is a good defense. And take advantage of the early time when you're still in possession of the ball."

The coach talks a lot and it's true. Arouca has to take advantage of everything, not because of the kick off of the 2nd round at Arouca's team but Arouca has also excelled and played at home.

So the Arouca team should make the most of it.

After some additional instructions, the official staff also informed that the match would be restarted.

Sean and the players then returned to the pitch after a 15-minute break.

Kick off kicked by Ericson. Lopes and Sean were on the side of the field ready to run forward, while Roberto he was ready to enter the defense of the opponent directly in order to disrupt their focus.

With the whistle ringing, Ericson passed the ball backwards.

Sean, Lopes and Roberto immediately ran into the opposing defense area.

Santos who had the ball casually signaled the players to move forward by stretching out both hands and swinging them forward.

Both fullbacks advanced to fill the opponent's central area, Valente and Ericson also advanced to fill the opponent's middle area.

Sean, Lopes and Roberto are already in the opposition's defence.

Varzim's players are suffocating.

Just kick off at the start, they're already suffocating.

Santos casually still carried the ball as he walked little by little into the territory of the opponent.

Varzim players can only wait and close every gap, but what Santos expects is that they wait like this.

Santos who continued to advance little by little pressed more and Varzim's players were forced to withdraw.

Until finally the opponent's defensive line is also in the penalty box, when Santos saw this. He immediately started passing on Ericson and Valente alternately to attract 1 or 2 players.

Sean, Lopes and Roberto also move in search of space constantly while watching the ball keep moving.

Both fullbacks fill the area of the opponent's defense. Sean and Lopes have also entered the middle of the opponent's defense with Roberto.

Even so it still left a bit of distance.

Varzim's players try to stay patient and calm despite their pressure.

As Santos, Valente and Ericson made continuous passes, Santos saw they were not interested.

He also passes to Jubal who is in the middle of the field.

At the sight of that, forward Varzim immediately presses and tries to grab the ball.

But unfortunately, they were only fooled because Santos had moved again when he had given the pass earlier, so when Jubal received the ball he did not linger long and immediately passed on to Santos.

Santos who received the ball immediately dribbled deeper, Roberto who had been looking for space finally found empty space.

He had not had time to raise his hand, the ball had approached him, it was caused by Santos who always pay attention to the situation of his colleagues.

Roberto received the ball with good control, he turned the body.

When he saw the goal he did not linger long and immediately shot, he did not want anyone to stop him so immediately shot hard.

The opposing goal keeper who is guarding the goal is trying to catch the ball.

Roberto's hard kick leads to the middle where the goalkeeper's position is, but because the ball is only slightly raised, it becomes difficult to catch.

The goal keeper defiantly brushed the ball away. The goalkeeper did not look around and only managed to pull over.

But when he was about to see the ball he tepis, suddenly he felt that someone passed him quickly.

He also realized that the ball he had just thrown to the left side. On the left side, Sean was falling on the field because he forced to use the rebound ball earlier.

Sean kicked with a fall because his position was not fitting.

But Sean was not upset and disappointed because the ball he kicked had succeeded in becoming a goal.

The goalkeeper who was still confused just saw Sean who fell suddenly stood up and ran to the corner of the field.

He looked behind him and realized that what passed him was a ball that was kicked by Sean.

Sean's colleagues also ran towards Sean.
