Sporting da Covilhã suffered a defeat by the minimum margin in Mafra, on Saturday, in Serie B of Liga 3. This was the team's second consecutive defeat in the competition.
The game took place a week after the team lost in the first round of the Taça de Portugal, which compounded the poor run of form for the Covilhã side.
The home players got off to a better start in the match, pressing from the beginning and creating danger in the opposing penalty area. Rodri was one of the most active elements in the home team's attack.
In the 9th minute of play, Rodri attempted to score after an individual run, but the shot went over the crossbar of the goal defended by Galil, squandering the first big chance of the game.
