Stephen Eustaquio was the man of the match for the League in the victory in Barcelos, over Gil Vicente (2-0). With two assists for goal, the midfielder thanked “the opportunity” to be in the starting team and the “fantastic fans” for the vibrant support. The number 46 admitted that “playing after a defeat is difficult”, but also remembered: “We are the champions and we gave our response tonight”.

Grateful to be in the starting team and for the support coming from the stands
“We won, that was the most important thing. The coach gave me the opportunity to be in the starting team, I’ve been complying in training and I just have to play football. I want to thank the opportunity and these fantastic fans for the support today.”

The reaction of the champion to the previous defeat
“If we could play the day after, we would. Playing after a defeat is hard, but we are the champions and we gave our response tonight.”

Competent at striking the opposition and guarding the goal
“We knew we had to go in strong, Gil Vicente has a great team. With a bad start, we were going to have problems. We scored two goals in the first-half, in the second we controlled and defended our goal very well, which is as must as well.”

What Conceição says is the law
“Whatever the coach asks for, we try to do, we gave it all and we won today.”
