After the match, João Pereira, the Leonine staff and the cast went to the stands of the Estádio Cidade de Barcelos and the technician was received with white handkerchiefs and a notorious protest on the part of the fans.
Already in the vicinity of the opponent's stronghold, as the Green and Whites' bus left, the mass of Clube de Alvalade shouted “go to the streets” and “go away”, demanding the coach dismissal who took over the main team on November 11, 2024.
In reaction to the performance in the match, João Pereira confessed in his post-game statements that “unlike in past games, we didn't have a very strong start. It was difficult for us to create opportunities in the first half, we had two, Viktor's were clearer. We had a lot of ball, lots of passing, absolute control again, but we didn't create. In the second half we adjusted the pressure because we were running a lot without winning the ball, and from then on. Gil couldn't play“.
Remembering that, at this moment, those led by João Pereira are in leadership of Liga Portugal Betclic, with 37 points, equal on points with Porto, but they can be surpassed by rival Benfica, who are in third with 35 points, but have a game in hand.
