Last-Minute Blunder

Lisbon, Portugal – Last night Benfica closed out the Jornada with a 2-2 tie against Vitoria de Setubal. The game did not start well for Benfica as they went down 1-0 in the first half due to a goal by Laionel. In the second half they came with a bang. Katsouranis scored in the 48th to level things up and ten minutes later Suazo put the Eagles in front 2-1. Everything kept going well for Benfica and it looked like they were going to get those three points to put them in first place but then Setubal striked back. In the final minutes of regulation time Setubal was awarded a corner kick. From that ensuing corner kick, Benfica cleared the ball but only as far as the 18-yard box. From there, Anderson performed a bicycle kick and surprisingly lobbed Quim and the game was tied. It was a blunder by Quim; a big blunder. How can a player score a bicycle kick from outside the damn box!!! All i know is that Quim is having a terrible year as he is letting far too many goals in but the blame can also be put on the rest of the team too.
Well Benfica stayed put in 2nd place and hopes for next round to be different.
