The last round holds a clash between Barreirense and Palmeira, eliminating any possibility of Morabeza securing first place in the group or even
advance as the best second place, as Derby have already reached 10 points.
A team that aspires to transcend and reach new heights cannot make the same mistakes over and over again, especially at home, where they should be unbeatable. The three draws at home were the fatal blow that sealed Morabeza's fate. Serious defensive errors, many of them in the final moments of games, undermined the team's confidence and determination. This lack of consistency cannot persist, victory cannot be allowed to slip through our fingers so close to the end.
It is not a matter of looking for blame, but rather of recognizing a series of factors that contribute to underperformance. Players' commitment and ambition are questioned year after year, leaving football lovers disillusioned. Team management puts a lot of effort into building competitive teams, and Morabeza had all the ingredients to lead this group. However, 6 points lost at home were the weight that dragged the team out of the competition.
We can now appeal for more responsibility and commitment from everyone involved. Football is more than a game; It’s passion, it’s dedication, it’s representing an entire community. May this elimination serve as a catalyst for deep reflection and a change of attitude, so that Morabeza can rise from the ashes and conquer its place.
