What most people are calling the best NELASA game ever played, took place this past weekend in Boston when last season Champs, Club Tabanka hosted Nos Bandera under the lights at Ceylon Park. Week 3 derby between Tabanka and Nos Bandera was just what the fans and NELASA expected a very intense and exciding game with a lot of fans showing up from all corners of Cape-Verdean Communities around New England.
Nos Bandera gain the upper hand early in the 7th minute of the match when Jose Depina hit a powerful shot from inside the penalty box to beat goalkeeper Lito, the place went wild and Nos Bandera fed of that and controls most of the first half, but could not hold Tabanka as the newly acquired ex Strela Negra forward Bebeto score at the end of the first half from at throw in by Pirochu to tie the game 1-1.
In the second half Tabanka played a much better half but could not capitalize, as they had numerous of chances to score. Defender Jair had two opportunities from inside the box but missed both times, Pirochu also had a chance when he got a breakaway all alone with goalkeeper Cuca shoot it to high over the bar. Nos Bandera didn’t give up and didn’t missed when they had their chances, in the 20th minutes of the second half, on a beautiful strike by ex Tabanka Rafael from outside the box, beat Lito in the far right hand corner, Lito couldn’t do nothing but look at the ball going in. Nos Bandera went head 2-1 and held Tabanka scoreless in the second half to come out with they third win of the season.
Nos Bandera is sitting right now in third place with three wins in three games with this one been one of the most significant win yet in this young 2010 season.
Tabanka whom many people picked to be the favorite, so far has started the season in a shaky note with only 4 points in 3 games 1 tie, 1 win and 1 loss. Tabanka is currently in 6th place with 4 points.
