This Friday, Valongo beat Sporting 3-2 in the quarterfinals of the roller hockey Champions League and secured a place in the semifinals of the competition.
The northern team opened the scoring through Rafael Bessa five minutes into the second half. Four minutes later, Nolito Romero tied the game, but Facu Navarro put the Valongoers ahead again at 11′ by converting a direct free kick. In another direct free kick, nine minutes later, Navarro scored twice, while, in another identical shot on the opposite side, Nolito reduced again.
