In addition to the victory, another great reason for a goalkeeper to leave the game fully satisfied happens when he does not concede goals. This is how Gabriel Batista, holder of the Santa Clara (POR) goal, stayed after the first three rounds of Liga Portugal 2 and a match in the Taça de Portugal.
So far, the Brazilian has not conceded goals, leading the team to second place in Nacional with 7 points, with two wins and one draw.
“Every goalkeeper wants this performance of winning without conceding a goal. It is the merit of all the work carried out by the coaching staff, our defensive system also helps a lot in this process. We had a good start to the championship and our focus is to return to the first division, where Santa Clara belongs”, said Gabriel.

Of the 18 teams that make up the division, in addition to the Brazilian’s team, only AVS still remains without conceding a goal. Santa Clara’s next challenge will be next Saturday, against Feirense, for the fourth round.
More experienced and one of the big names in the squad, the 25-year-old player talks about the importance of winning points away from home.
“We know that to go up, each point is fundamental, especially those won away from our fans, who, incidentally, always support us. It is a strategic game in terms of our intentions and we will do our best, aiming to get a good result”, he concluded.
