Estoril Praia beat Belenenses 2-1 in a recent friendly match, with the decisive goal being scored by Fran Pereira. The Estoril Praia team was already winning at halftime, with a goal from forward Cassiano, but Belenenses started well in the second half and equalized through midfielder Midana Sambu, at 50 minutes. However, Fran Pereira, who entered the game in the second half, unbalanced the test in favor of Estoril Praia, scoring the goal that gave the victory by the minimum margin. Coach Álvaro Pacheco again gave the starting position to the only confirmed reinforcement so far, forward Heriberto Tavares, and launched in the starting eleven some elements of the sub-23 team that are being observed, namely the versatile Rodrigo Ramos and the Dutch midfielders Finn Dicke and Ivan Pavlic. During the match, the Estoril Praia coach made some more changes, bringing in several of the remaining sub-23 players who work with the squad, such as Wagner Pina, Fran Pereira, Guilherme Magalhães, and Bruno Amado. The main highlight was the use of defender Bernardo Vital, who had returned to work just three days ago, after participating in the European Under-21 Championship for Portugal. Estoril Praia will continue to work at their facilities, with another preparation game scheduled for next Wednesday, when they will present themselves to their fans and members, receiving the English team Sheffield United, in a match scheduled for 19:30, at the Estádio António Coimbra da Mota, in Estoril.
