Filipe Candido, head coach of Nacional, acknowledged the justness of SC Braga’s 5-0 win over his team in the first leg of the Taça de Portugal semifinals.[expander_maker id=”1″ ] However, he also suggested that the margin of the loss was exaggerated by two penalty kicks that contributed to the scoreline.
Despite his team’s limitations, Cândido was pleased with the way his players approached the match and created opportunities before SC Braga did. He also praised the opponents for their efficient attack and the ease with which they scored goals.
Moving forward, Cândido is focused on the team’s goal of maintaining their place in Liga 2. While they have struggled in the league, Nacional is determined to approach each game as a final and believes they will achieve their objectives in the end.
The second leg of the Taça de Portugal semifinals is coming up, and while the margin of SC Braga’s win has put them in a favourable position, the result is not yet definitive. Nacional still has a chance to turn things around, and Cândido will be looking for his players to demonstrate the same fighting spirit they showed in the first leg.[/expander_maker]
