FC Alverca drew at home against Santa Clara after having been ahead. This was the team's second home draw of the Ribatejo side in the new Liga I season, after also drawing with Estrela da Amadora under the same circumstances.
The balance of the first four games of the season is two home draws and two away defeats. The defeats came against Porto, the reigning champions, and Sporting, the runners-up, both away. Despite these defeats, the article mentions they are natural, especially since Alverca put in good performances in those matches.
The home draws are described as having a bitter taste, as Alverca's team was twice in a winning position and ended up allowing the equaliser. This happened both in the match against Estrela da Amadora and in the clash with Santa Clara.
The next game for Alverca is scheduled for the 5th, again at home, this time against Sporting, although the article appears cut off and does not finish the reference to this opponent.
