Marítimo suffered a 3-1 defeat away to Moreirense in a Portuguese league match. Coach Mitchell van der Gaag classified this match as a "lesson" for the green-and-red team.
The coach acknowledged that the team had great difficulty reacting after conceding the first goal. According to his analysis, the players entered the game in the way Moreirense wanted, that is, in offensive transition, which ended up harming the team's performance.
Van der Gaag also stated that, after the first goal conceded, the team failed to create many dangerous opportunities. The situation became even more complicated after the second goal, making recovery practically impossible.
