Moreirense-Benfica, 1-1 (report)
Lawrence Ofori, Moreirense forward, speaking to Sport TV, after scoring a goal in the draw at home against Benfica (1-1), in a match on the 4th round of the League:
– I think we deserved the win. We knew it was going to be a tough game, we fought hard and gave everything we could to win the game. Unfortunately, in the last play the referee awarded a penalty. In my opinion, it wasn’t a penalty, but the referee awarded it and the game ended in a draw.
Moreirense had already shown a good attitude against Sp. Braga, what did César Peixoto ask for this game?
– Moreira’s team plays every game they play to win. We never play to stay behind and play for a draw because they also come here to win. In every game we play, we play to win. Unfortunately, in Braga it was a defeat we weren’t expecting and today we tried to do our best. The coach asked us to go into the game to win.
You mentioned the penalty, do you think Moreirense was harmed by the refereeing?
In my opinion, yes.
Moreirense has seven points and has already played against Sp. Braga and Benfica. How far can Moreirense go?
– That’s what I’ve been saying since the beginning of the interview, it’s game by game, let’s go from there.
