The match that took place between Arouca and Famalicao at Estadio Municipal Arouca has entered the round of 2.

The score is still led by Arouca's team of 2 goals.

The first goal was scored by Sean through his beautiful free kick in the first half.

While the second goal, it was scored by Santos who made a long-range shot from outside the penalty box.

Goalkeepers who were too advanced could not save a kick from Santos, the second goal occurred when the second half was just starting.

Now that the game in the second half had entered 65 minutes, Sean who was always guarded by 2 players also had a little trouble passing him and could only pass back to his partner when getting the ball.

Coach Jorge Costa on the sidelines already knows that Sean may not be effective anymore because the ones guarding him are getting tighter.

Sometimes even if Sean made it through the two, there will be someone pulling a shirt or tacking it from behind.

Instead of making Sean injured, coach Jorge Costa chose to make a change of players.

At 67 minutes, Sean was replaced by Kuca. Sean also understood the coach's reason, he immediately sat down with the other backup fellow.

He then started watching the match from the sidelines.

Entering the 73rd minute, Famalicao attacked Arouca.

The ball is controlled by Famalicao players who have now increasingly pressed the Arouca region.

The Arouca players were also only able to defend patiently and calmly. They are now 2 goals ahead so no need to worry too much.

When entering the 75th minute, Famalicao who was impatient to cross from the right side of the defense Arouca.

With this cross, the ball quickly goes to the penalty box.

The players immediately hunt for the ball in the penalty box. Either it's Arouca or Famalicao.

Jubal who was guarding and closely escorting the Famalicao team attacker pulled the shirt from the Famalicao attacker when going to jump a header on the ball.

But the unexpected is, the attacker immediately fell when pulled his clothes slowly by Jubal.

The referee also immediately ran while blowing the whistle.

The referee immediately pointed to the white spot inside the box, Jubal who pulled the shirt was of course protesting because he pulled a little and there was no hard pull.

But the referee's decision was absolute, and finally Jubal gave up and was given a yellow card because of excessive protest.

Initially Jubal's violation did not cause a yellow card, but because Jubal protested excessively, he was finally given a yellow card.

The centre-forward keeps the ball in the white spot.

He took a deep breath, the whistle immediately went off, he immediately ran towards the ball then as he was about to shoot he stopped waiting for goalkeeper Arouca to jump first.

Deceived goalkeeper Arouca jumped to the right, after seeing the jump, the Famalicao team attacker also continued his kick again and shot towards the left of the goalkeeper.

Where it was a sure trick and goalkeeper Arouca could not save the shot.

By successfully scoring that penalty, the score is now 2 - 1.

Famalicao's attacking team did not perform the celebration, he immediately ran into the goal and took the ball and then kept it in the middle of the field.

With the whistle from the referee, kick off at the start back.

Time continues.

Entering the 87th minute, Arouca did the ball mastery intending to spend the rest of this time with the ball mastery.

But in this ball possession process, every player Arouca who controls the ball will not control the ball for too long, it is caused by tight pressing by Famalicao players.

Entering the 90th minute and extra time, aggressive pressing increasingly becomes so, the players Arouca who controlled the ball and finally pressed can only throw the ball far ahead.

Time passed, even though Famalicao got the ball and had the ball, they still could not equalize until the end of the game.

With the whistle sounded by the referee, the match ended with the victory of the home team, Arouca.

The players are all back in the dressing room.

Arriving in the dressing room, "We have to do a lot of evaluation tomorrow, today's game signifies that the other teams already know our way, so we have to make a new scheme." Coach Jorge Costa.

...

Arriving at the dormitory, Sean did not immediately take a bath as usual to lower his body temperature first.

While waiting for his body temperature to drop, Sean sat in his study chair while looking at his future schedule.

After a few minutes, Sean cleaned his body and it did not take long for him to clean the body.

With the situation clean, Sean lay on his bed.

"Is Arouca maybe promoted this season?"

"This match made me realize that every 2nd season is probably a good time for every big change."

"When we went to the Famalicao stadium, we managed to break into them 3 0, but it was clear that they were completely different from the way they played."

"They have good physical quality and stamina, which is much different from what they used to be."

"Many are growing, so there's no way to be left behind."

Picking up his phone next to the bed, Sean noticed that the clock had shown at 8 pm, so he chose to try to go to bed early.

The next day, the,

At Arouca's training ground, players were gathering to make a circle.

Coach Jorge Costa was in the middle of the circle and was talking, "Be aware that yesterday's game was not what I expected even though we won."

"A lot of things were different from Famalicao's team yesterday, maybe this happened to other teams as well."

"In order for us to stay at the top of the table and things like yesterday don't happen again, we also have to make changes."

"I will immediately think of a scheme with the other staff in quick time."

"While there is already a scheme, I am not sure and must see from the other side as well, whether this scheme will be used to make the defense dangerous or not."

"For now physical exercise is improved and improved again."

"The physical coach's shirt is further enhanced to fit the scheme we'll use later."

The players also listen seriously to the coach, it is true that Arouca's team must also change in order to maintain its position and be able to keep winning every game.

Continuing training with the team, after a while, training with the team was also completed.

Sean continued his own training, starting from the practice of each technique.

Such as dribbling, kicking, heading, controlling the ball, passing and free kicks.

Each technique, Sean follows the direction already given by the assistant coach.
