The Mozambican Football Federation (FMF) publicly justified this choice, claiming that holding the game in Thiès was necessary to preserve the condition of the pitch at the Zimpeto National Stadium. The FMF argued that the Zimpeto pitch had recently been overloaded due to four games played in a short span of eight days, including matches of the Mambas (Mozambique national team), club competitions, and the local league, the Moçambola. However, this justification has raised doubts.
In the city of Colchester, Donaldo had previously recorded a time of 1 hour and 47 minutes, which was already impressive. However, his determination and dedication to training resulted in a remarkable improvement, shaving more than 20 minutes off his marathon time. Furthermore, Donaldo Salvador has proven to be a world-class competitor, not only in Colchester, but also in the UK and Europe.
With only 12 points left to play for in the remaining rounds, Matchedje de Maputo needs a miracle to avoid relegation.
On the other hand, Ferroviário de Lichinga breathes a little easier after this crucial victory. The team seeks to distance itself from the relegation zone and remain in the elite of Mozambican football. There is still much at stake, and the next matches will be crucial in determining the fate of several teams in the 2023 Moçambola.
The defeat against Ferroviário de Nampula puts Ferroviário de Quelimane in an even more precarious position in the league table. As the second-to-last team, the prospect of relegation to the second division is now almost a certainty, and the club's supporters are suffering at the prospect of seeing their team go down after having achieved promotion to the Moçambola last season.
Both games are scheduled for 2:30 PM, and the pressure is in the air as the two bottom-ranked teams desperately seek victory playing at home.
Both Ferroviário de Quelimane and Matchedje de Maputo are aware of the importance of these matches to improve their position in the Moçambola standings.
In the first half, both teams returned to the break with the score unchanged, revealing a balanced and suspenseful match. However, it was in the second half that the action reached its peak, with the home team, Baía de Pemba, taking the lead with a goal scored by Nely, which broke the ice.
The match began with the home team, Costa do Sol, scoring the opening goal. Boyomo, in the 23rd minute of the first half, scored for Costa do Sol. However, the lead lasted only a minute, as Mário equalized the score the following minute. The score was tied at 1-1, giving the game a new direction, with both teams searching for the winning goal.
From the start, Costa do Sol showed its determination to emerge victorious. With a solid defense and a relentless attack, the team quickly began to build a comfortable lead over the Special Eagles. Their shooting accuracy and efficient ball movement demonstrated the impressive cohesion and synchrony between the players.
The first game takes place in the southern zone of the Mozambican capital, at the Costa do Sol stadium, where the hosts face Ferroviário de Maputo. Meanwhile, the second game takes place in the northern zone, in the provincial city of Cabo Delgado, in Pemba, where the home team, Baía de Pemba, hosts the current national champion, União Desportiva do Songo.
The match was a display of skill and determination on the part of Red Star. The team's goals were scored by Mavui, Vasco, and Madala, showcasing the depth of talent within the squad. The crowd of fans who filled the Marracuene stadium were ecstatic with the team's performance, enthusiastically applauding each goal.
