The
game that would complete the second round of fixtures
was Pioes versus Weeds.
Back
in 2013, Pioes (playing as Futsal Pioes) played
in the Open Age section of the Lisbon Tournament
and did rather well. Four wins and a draw from
their group games saw them finish in second place
as they qualified for the Cup. They were then
eliminated at the Semi-Final stage by eventual
winners HS Décor.
Pioes
were off to a winning start here in Round 1 and
they were playing a WEEDS team who had suffered
defeat in their first fixture and looking to bounce
back. It was Pioes who drew first blood in the
opening half as Rui Fernandes notched his first
of the day for the Portuguese team.
Could
WEEDS respond in the second half? They were certainly
competitive as they had been in their first game
but they were ultimately unable to find a successful
path to goal. Pioes preserved their clean sheet
that helped them to a 1-0 victory. It was tough
for WEEDS who had competed well in both games
but had lost 1-0 on both occasions.
