Liga Sagres: Paços de Ferreira 3 – SL Benfica 4

Yesterday SL Benfica won the away game against Paços de Ferreira, the striker Nuno Gomes scored the first goal.
The Captain with a good performance commanded the Encarnados team to the victory in an extremely difficult field. The home team was loosing in three occasions, but never gave up. Both teams were better attacking than defending and the result was uncertain till the end.
Quique Flores must be glad with the performance of some players like Sidney, Yebda and Carlos Martins. Reyes and Aimar are knowing better their companions and that helps their improvement. Léo did not play and Jorge Ribeiro demonstrated that will work hard to have other chances.

Nuno Miguel Soares Pereira Ribeiro (05-07-1976)

The Striker Nuno was born in Amarante, a beautiful region in the North of Portugal. When he was younger he used to watch Fernando Gomes play and he appreciated him a lot. Nuno wanted to score many goals like Fernando Gomes used to score, so he decided to use the last name, of this great striker.
Nuno Gomes soon called the press attentions while representing Boavista FC and was transferred to our Club in 2000.
The good games attracted the international attentions and ACF Fiorentina took him to Italy. The financial problems of Fiorentina took Nuno back to Lisbon and back to Glorioso.
After lots of important goals scored and some sad injuries, Nuno seems to be ready for an Amazing season.
