Outstanding Performance and Efficiency on the Field
In this ninth round, Lucão and David Freire showed their quality and indispensable contribution to the team, which earned them a place among the best of the round. Lucão, who scored the third goal for O Elvas, stood out for his constant attacking presence and determination on the field. David Freire, who extended the team’s lead before half-time, demonstrated great precision and finishing ability, being a constant threat to the opposing defense.
In addition to the players, coach Pedro Hipólito was also named as the coach of the matchday.

David Freire and Lucão: Strong Presence in Attack
Lucão and David Freire had complementary performances that were fundamental to the team’s success. David Freire once again showed his talent and now instinct for finishing. With his goal in the 43rd minute, he created a comfortable advantage for the team before half-time, allowing O Elvas to play more confidently in the second half of the game.
Lucão played a key role at the start of the second half, with an important opportunity that ended up not being converted into a goal, but he quickly redeemed himself by scoring the third goal of the match, sealing the victory for Cavaleiros. This consistent performance reflects his evolution and importance to the team.
Pedro Hipólito: Strategy and Leadership
Coach Pedro Hipólito was another standout player on the day, recognised for the way he prepared the team to face FC Alverca’s B team. His effective management allowed him to maintain the intensity of the attack while keeping the defence secure. Furthermore, Hipólito made timely substitutions, which helped maintain dominance in attack and security in defence.
The coach’s work is therefore essential not only for each victory, but for the solidity of the club’s campaign this season, propelling Elvas to the sole leadership and inspiring the entire team to fight for every point.
A Promising Season and Ambition
With this victory, Elvas strengthens its position at the top of the table, increasingly standing out as one of the main teams in Series C of the Portuguese Championship. The consistency of players such as Lucão and David Freire, combined with the strategic leadership of Pedro Hipólito, has been crucial to the team’s success, which remains focused on the fight for the top spots.
The next round brings new challenges, but the winning spirit of Elvas and the hard work of all team members promise to continue to inspire confidence in the fans and keep the team steadfast in its quest for the title.
