"Tougher because we didn't score a second goal"

Jorge Jesus satisfied with his side's performance but is looking for better finishing

A satisfactory performance with some spells of attractive football, despite a frustrating number of wasted chances on goal. That is how Jorge Jesus saw Friday's CTT Cup win against Varzim, which projected his side to the top of Group A.

"The game got tougher because we didn't score a second goal, which would have settled us. When you create chances and don't put them away you leave yourself open to an equaliser", said Jesus at the final whistle, adding: "We are taking things one step at a time and the first thing to do is get through the group stages. We are working hard to turn in the wins and on Wednesday we have to do it again. We want to get to the final."
 
Adrien Silva was forced off after a heavy tackle in the second-half and Jorge Jesus was unable to give any guarantees: "He took a hard hit around his knee, but I couldn't tell how serious it was. We will look at him again tomorrow."
