A group of eight people and a dog were rescued on 3 May
after having "accidentally fallen into a stream while walking along Trail 14"
"Unable to get out on their own, the group members needed specialised assistance. The rescue operation was carried out efficiently, allowing everyone involved to be safely removed, without the need for medical care", reads a post by the National Emergency and Civil Protection Authority
The Beiras and Serra da Estrela Sub-regional Command received the alert at 5:06 p.m
and stated that "a prompt response on the ground was essential to avoid more serious consequences
considering the steep and slippery nature of the area where the incident occurred"
The rescue operation involved 13 operatives, supported by five vehicles, from the Covilhã, Manteigas, and São Romão Fire Department, the Special Civil Protection Forc,e and the GNR-UEPS Mountain Group

We joined APT Travelmarvel’s first purpose-built vessel on the Douro River
We take a closer look at APT Travelmarvel’s first purpose-built ship on the Douro River
during a three-night sailing return from Porto via São Martinho and Régua
The vessel boasts four decks and has capacity for 120 guests across 60 cabins
Onboard you’ll find a restaurant and lounge bar
The ship is sleek and simple and encourages travellers to relax and unwind while sailing along the Douro
which makes it a great option for the over-60s market
MS Estrela has a subtle yet sleek look with light panelling
earthy tones and wooden flooring throughout
Plants in the bar and restaurant and wicker furniture
are in keeping with the Douro’s rustic aesthetic
Cabins are very spacious and allow for plenty of room to move around comfortably
Beds are large and each room has a seating area for working or reading
Bathrooms are stocked with enough amenities to last the duration of your cruise
and there is more than enough storage space for two travellers
Suitcases can be stored under beds and floor-to-ceiling windows offer uninterrupted views of the banks of the Douro
minifridge and large TV with local and international channels
French balcony suites and the Owner’s Suite
There’s a wide range of food options onboard
breakfast and lunch are served buffet style and dinner is a la carte
as well as vegetarian and vegan alternatives
You’ll also find an omelette station during breakfast
fruit and finger sandwiches are available to keep you going throughout the day
We recommend taking breakfast and lunch as soon as possible each day
with the lack of heating lamps causing the food to go slightly cold on occasion
There’s a self-serve coffee machine in the lounge
as well as a fountain which offers still and sparkling water
and there is always someone on hand to help if needed
My laundry order was taken almost immediately
and the crew were more than happy to offer recommendations on food
The swimming pool is large for a river ship
and the putting green at the back of the vessel is a nice addition to help pass the time during sailing days
is a great option for a top-deck dinner when the sun’s out
Onboard entertainment includes hosted parties
where you get the chance to meet fellow passengers
you’ll have the chance to visit a local quinta and take part in a port tasting
where tour guides talk you through the delicate process of making port before you get to try four different varieties of the popular Portuguese tipple
MS Estrela is the first ship to operate both APT and Travelmarvel cruises
with the former being a five-star brand and the latter a four-star proposition
When the company’s second Douro ship launches in 2028
MS Estrela will be repositioned to sail exclusively Travelmarvel cruises
This means Travelmarvel customers are getting a ship designed for a five-star market at four-star prices
Costs are competitive and packages are available for Travelmarvel guests to upgrade their drinks

one of APT Travel Group’s newest ships was designed to reflect the natural beauty of the landscape it travels through
textured furnishings and expansive windows designed to make the most of the riverside vistas
The vibe is at once coastal and contemporary
family-run tour and cruise company (with a 97-year pedigree no less) APT knows what Australians want from a holiday and has tweaked a few things (rooftop barbecue anyone?) with this market in mind
Everything except premium wine and spirits is included
We stay overnight at the five-star VP Plaza Espana Design hotel in Madrid before boarding a coach for the 2½-hour drive to the ancient city of Salamanca
a generous allowance of €35 ($57) to spend on lunch anywhere in the town (hello tapas) and we’re back on the coach headed to the riverside town of Vega de Terron on the Spanish/Portuguese border
Good design demands both form and function
rattan and wicker combine to create a casual yet refined ambience
Think Byron Bay-boho meets contemporary coastal
Meticulous attention has been paid to the comfort of the lounge seating
The Sun Deck and pool … the biggest on the Douro
Estrela never feels crowded; the ship’s public spaces foster a sense of ease and relaxation
with the four decks connected by one main staircase and (except for the top deck) an elevator
The Sun Deck has one of the largest swimming pools on the Douro
The absence of pool towels is a surprising oversight
the True North lounge and bar is the place to gather for afternoon tea
Down one more level to Constellations restaurant
yet elegant feel with lots of space and light
Seating configurations offer enough options
The relaxed style continues across the 57 staterooms and suites
which range from Window Staterooms (13.4-15.6 square metres)
French Balcony Suites (14.6-18 square metres) and two Owner’s Suites (23.2 square metres)
I’m on level three in a French Balcony Suite
so named for the electric slide-down window that opens to a “French-style” balcony
It’s a bit of a stretch to call it a balcony
but by lowering the expansive window halfway down it lends a delightful indoor/outdoor feel to the whole cabin
mini-fridge and personal climate control complete the picture
A thoughtful addition is the wall of wooden hooks near the cabin door for hanging jackets
Having only one bedside table instead of the standard two is a missed detail
market-fresh fish – the best of the Douro Valley is within plucking distance for chef Andrei Tirca
plus an “always available” selection of favourites
There’s an early-riser or late-riser breakfast in the lounge or a full buffet in Constellations restaurant
featuring four-course menus with highlights such as pan-seared grouper with caviar beurre blanc or chicken ballotine with ruby port wine jus
There’s always a buffet option or a light lunch in the lounge
Each menu is paired with recommended wines from the Douro region
enhancing the dining experience while offering an introduction to the local vineyards and grape varietals
try a portico tonico – Portugal’s answer to the G&T
a refreshing blend of dry white port served with tonic water
a cruise through one of the world’s premier wine regions is more about indulging in the food and wine than wellness
but it’s better suited for socialising than getting in a workout
Daily excursions will keep your step count up
Days fill easily with excursions or tailored sightseeing through the Freedom of Choice experiences
During stretches of sailing there’s often a fun quiz
documentary screening or lecture about Portuguese history in the main lounge
Evening entertainment offers anything from a traditional harp performance to a Portuguese folk band to a disco night
A highlight of the trip is an exclusive Signature Experience at Porto’s stunning Palacio da Bolsa featuring a guided tour
a cocktail reception and traditional Fado performance in the Arabian Hall
MS Estrela cruising the Douro River in Portugal
this new ship’s crew already work together like a well-oiled team

These are the voyages of the starship Øresund Space Collective
and here on what is their thirty fifth release they aim to take you further than ever before
It’s a mighty long one but ever so slightly more interesting than being stuck on one of Elon Musks spaceships to Mars with only Katy Perry and a bunch of investment bankers for company
we’re off to shake our backsides and shimmy along with some aliens at the space disco
that’s the beauty of instrumental music like this
You can make any old shit up and someone will dig it
Let’s get down for the next 49 minutes (yep
It’s like an album within an album!) to the crazy space sounds of our hosts
Douglas Adam’s would be proud and have them as the warm up act to Disaster Area live at the restaurant at the end of the universe
that initial burst of photon energy can’t last for the whole of the album within an album and soon it slopes off into a lovingly crafted psych funk odyssey
Alotta Hella down in Estrela by Øresund Space Collective
The next track will probably see you to Venus at least as it expands ever outwards into the nebula
More Spock on mushrooms than HAL on cocaine
its undulating course never once sending you to the cryogenic sleep chamber
This is the sound of space pirates heading through clusters of stars
whilst simultaneously looking for green skinned aliens to share your space tobacco with
the fun can’t last forever and the second half of our journey takes us into more serious noodling territory with Weberian Bass taking on a more esoteric approach
inexorable fall swallowing you into a splendidly far out finale
Imagine if this lot bumped into Ozric Tentacles on their quest into outer space
that’s what you get with Tangled Foot Badger
We’re no longer grooving and jiving along the space corridors of power
You feel like you’ve been here a lifetime yet only 6 minutes of time has passed
and distorted beyond all manner of recognition
it’s unsure who would actually sit this whole journey out in one sitting aside from this crazy reviewer but we are here now
9 minutes have passed (there’s another 18 minutes to go)
You may as well spark up that space tobacco if you have any left
After all that you really do need something to come back down to earth either
and just maybe Echoes Ambientic will do that for you
After sitting through nearly two hours of music
adrift in your space capsule far above the world
ground control is calling for some solid ground
There may not be much of that on offer but it is a rather pleasant end to what has mostly been a splendid trip

The New York Red Bulls transferred Bento Estrela to Portugal's Sporting Lisbon for an undisclosed fee Wednesday.
The homegrown midfielder has not appeared in an MLS match. The 18-year-old made 29 starts over the past two seasons with the MLS NEXT Pro affiliate Red Bulls II.
In February of 2021, the Portuguese international made headlines by turning pro at 14 years and 364 days old, which was the fourth-youngest signing in MLS history at the time.
"We wish Bento all the luck in the world moving forward in the next chapter of his career," NYRB head of sport Jochen Schneider said.
New York retained a sell-on fee in the event of a transfer of Estrela to another club.
Born in Newark, N.J., to a Portuguese mother of Cape Verdean descent, Estrela joined the New York Red Bulls youth academy in July 2019, at the age of 13.
Estrela holds American and Portuguese citizenships. In 2021, he was called into camp with the Portugal U16 side. On May 5, 2022, Estrela made his first appearance for the Portugal under-16's in a 4–1 victory against Belgium.

with lyrics inspired by jazz icon Billie HolidayWatch the video for hardcore gang Jivebomb’s new single ESTRELA
taken from next month’s debut album ETHEREAL
Jivebomb have just unleashed another new single from their forthcoming debut album ETHEREAL
Following SURVIVAL AIN’T TAUGHT in January, today the quintet share the brutal ESTRELA, which has a pretty interesting back story based on the song Gloomy Sunday.
“This song has been written – lyrically – for a while and I was on a heavy Billie Holiday kick at the time,” explains vocalist Kat Madeira. “She has a devastating song where she says, ‘Angels have no thoughts of ever returning you – would they be angry if I thought of joining you?’ so there’s an ode to that in ESTRELA.
“Letting a past self die in order to grow, rather than being complacent in your shit life.”
Jivebomb’s debut album ETHEREAL is due out on March 28 via Flatspot. In the meantime, watch the video for ESTRELA now:
The latest Baltimore hardcore crew to catch a buzz, Jivebomb tell Kerrang! about confusing death metal fans, playing shipping containers and opening up their influences…
Baltimore newcomers Jivebomb get disgustingly heavy on ironically-titled debut ETHEREAL.
Ahead of the release of this month’s debut album ETHEREAL, rising hardcore stars Jivebomb have unleashed another new rager.
Glassjaw have been added to both Outbreak Fests, and they’ll be playing stuff from 2000’s Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Silence and 2002 follow-up Worship And Tribute.
Jivebomb will drop their long-awaited debut full-length in March – listen to the first single now.
The ship is slightly smaller than a traditional river ship and has 58 suites that feature either a fixed window or a floor-to-ceiling electric window that slides down to create a French balcony
local beer and soft drinks served at lunch and dinner
The latte coloured exterior of MS Estrela ties in with ship’s contemporary interior which features modern furnishings and neutral colours
but most of the accommodation is found on Decks 2 and 3
These decks are also home to the ship’s restaurant
bar and reception which are all located on Deck 3
MS Estrela has a lift but no onboard fitness centre due to the ship’s smaller size
although those in the most affordable entry level suites are up high and don’t open
Balcony Suites have floor-to-ceiling windows opening to French balconies
while the opulent Owner's Suites also have floor to ceiling windows and additional luxuries like complimentary laundry service and a spa treatment
MS Estrela is perfectly suited to travellers who enjoy spending time outdoors and making the most of the scenic river views along the Douro
practice their putting skills on a green at the aft of the ship
There’s also an impressively large outdoor pool and a bar serving alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks

International players going back to business, imports from New York and Christian Pulisic’s language skills all play a part in the first USMNT Player Tracker of the new European season
Each week we will be bringing you updates on the USMNT players plying their trade in various leagues around Europe
With a World Cup on home soil on the horizon
we’re keeping tabs on how they perform every weekend
Pulisic scoring, Antonee Robinson assisting, Gio Reyna on the bench and Weston McKennie’s Juventus career revived — new season
familiar start for some of the USMNT’s main men in Europe
where McKennie has experienced deja vu by standing his ground successfully once again
the mood music from Juve throughout July and early August suggested the Texan was surplus to requirements at the Allianz Stadium as new manager Thiago Motta tried to reshape his midfield with new recruits
Fresh faces have arrived in the form of Brazil international Douglas Luiz and highly-rated French star Khephren Thuram, but despite being pursued by Aston Villa and interest from clubs in MLS
His contract had been set to expire next summer and McKennie held the better cards
knowing he could afford to choose the right move for him or
stay and sign a pre-contract agreement to join a new team as a free agent
Should he depart when his deal in Turin expires
when he was dropped from the club’s summer tour of the United States
There was no glowing interview with either player or manager when the club officially announced his extension, but Motta had already signalled his shift in stance, albeit in lukewarm terms, before Juventus’ opening game of the Serie A season against Como last Monday
McKennie is a useful and functional player for our needs,” Motta said at a news conference
McKennie was an unused substitute and will hope for some minutes in the club’s second game against Verona tonight given injury doubts over his compatriot Timothy Weah and Thuram
Weston McKennie exclusive: 'Everyone doubted me..
That well-trodden path from Major League Soccer to Europe remains as popular as ever. This time it is New York Red Bulls midfielder Bento Estrela
who is close to joining Sporting Lisbon in Portugal
at under-17s level but is also eligible for Portugal
is expected to seal a switch to the defending Primeira Liga champions on Monday
Estrela signed professional terms with Red Bulls in 2021 aged 14 years and 364 days, which at the time made him the fourth-youngest signing in MLS history behind Freddy Adu, Emmanuel Ochoa and Gabriel Slonina
He has not yet made his senior debut for Sandro Schwarz’s side
but he is highly-rated and the New York club have inserted a sell-on clause
It will be intriguing to see how Ruben Amorim
regarded as one of the brightest young managers on the continent
Yunus Musah has vouched for his team-mate with club and country Christian Pulisic’s flourishing language skills in Milan
“He is actually speaking it a lot lately,” he said of the forward
“Although they may speak to him in English
He has learned a lot and the coaches have started speaking to him in Italian
“Even though he spent a lot of time in America
he obviously hasn’t forgotten the language
Now I am not even translating anything for him
Pulisic has obviously benefited from a good teacher — Musah is fluent in Spanish and Italian
That much has translated to his first three Championship starts, providing a dependable part of Boro’s spine with four shots and as many chances created through 239 minutes
his most advanced shift came in his only away day to date
He could hardly ask for a better tutor than manager Michael Carrick as the U.S. international hopes to push his new club to the Premier League for the first time since 2016-17
The forward’s goal in Milan’s surprise 2-1 opening-day defeat by Parma might
But the close-range finish earned the USMNT star a niche entry in the record books
Pulisic has now scored in 10 different seasons in Europe’s top five leagues
becoming the first American to score at least one goal in each season across that period
After his faltering attempt to relaunch his career in the Premier League at Nottingham Forest last season
Reyna is back with Dortmund and even though the German side have a new manager in Nuri Sahin
their first game followed a familiar script for the young American
He came off the bench in the 81st minute but was outshone by another young attacker, Jamie Bynoe-Gittens, who scored twice to seal a win over Eintracht Frankfurt
Continuing this week’s theme of familiarity
the duo were back among the goals — netting one apiece — as defending champions PSV started in the sort of form that propelled them to a near-unbeaten campaign last season
They demolished Almere City 7-1 and Tillman
Pepi had to contend with a spot on the bench
but he did what he does best and still made his mark in a second-half cameo
The 23-year-old scored as Leeds beat Sheffield Wednesday 2-0 and now has two goals in the West Yorkshire club’s first three games of the EFL Championship season
On Thursday, Real Betis and their USMNT midfielder Johnny Cardoso are in Europa Conference League qualifying action against Ukrainian club FC Kryvbas Kryvyi Rih (3pm
Pulisic and Musah will hope to help AC Milan return to winning ways in Serie A on Saturday when they face Lazio (2:45pm

Baltimore hardcore punk group JIVEBOMB have released “ESTRELA,” the latest single to arrive ahead of their upcoming debut album ETHEREAL
“ESTRELA,” directly following the album’s first single “SURVIVAL ISN’T TAUGHT,” is a brutal and sludgy track lasting just over a minute in length
The new single arrived alongside a music video directed by Noah Haycock which portrays JIVEBOMB’s signature on-stage intensity and passionate crowd participation
With heavenly lyrical content that contrasts with the song’s ferocious behavior
“ESTRELA” is an inspiring song expressing the empowerment that comes with taking control of your life
Regarding the inspiration behind the new single
“This song has been written (lyrically) for a while
and I was on a heavy Billie Holiday kick at the time
‘Angels have no thoughts of ever returning to you
would they be angry if I thought of joining you?’ So there’s an ode to that in ‘ESTRELA.’ Letting a past self die in order to grow rather than being complacent in your life.”
JIVEBOMB continue to expand upon their signature musical brutality as they take influences from hardcore
and the darkest corners to be found in alternative music

JIVEBOMB‘s new single “ESTRELA” received its online premiere today
MD hardcore band will have that track featured on their forthcoming debut album “ETHEREAL“
which Flatspot Records have lined up for a March 28th release date
Vocalist Kat Madeira drew inspiration from Billie Holiday‘s rendition of “Gloomy Sunday” for this track
‘Angels have no thoughts of ever returning you — would they be angry if I thought of joining you?’ so there’s an ode to that in ‘ESTRELA.’”
"These bands are way too popular to be in arrears."
"Guess you'll have to go Steal This Album if you want to hear it now.."
The initial one-year loan deal -- which will run through to June 2025 -- was announced on Wednesday and will primarily see Asis feature for both Estrela's B and Under-23 sides
although it was said that he would be closely monitored by the senior team
The 20-year-old came through the ranks of the Sailors after joining their academy in 2020 and has since made five Singapore Premier League appearances
while regularly featuring in the match-day squad of a star-studded team that were champions back in 2021
Asis will be exposed to a creditable level of football even if he does not immediately break into Estrela's first team
with the reserves playing fourth-tier football while the U-23s were champions of the top-level national youth league in the 2022-23 season
It was the Sailors who sent him on a series of trials in Portugal at the end of last year
which eventually led to negotiations with Estrela after he was said to have caught the eye of several local scouts
"That is what I've been aiming for since I started kicking a ball
and it still feels surreal to be at a top Portuguese club," said Asis
"I'm really grateful to everyone who made this move possible
especially my coaches at the Sailors academy
They've made me a better player and are the reason I'm able to make this next step in my career
"I'm really excited to wear the Estrela shirt and can't wait to get started with the team."
With just five Singapore Premier League appearances under his belt
Nur Muhammad Asis' raw potential has seen him earn a move to Europe after joining Portugal's Estrela da Amadora on a one-year loan deal. Lion City Sailors FCSailors technical director Luka Lalić
who first crossed paths with Asis when he coached the latter as a seven-year-old
has backed his protégé to make an impact in Europe
Even when he was just seven or eight years old
he would often talk about his dream of playing in Europe one day," Lalić recalled
including the passing of his father earlier this year
he's now ready to showcase his talents on a larger stage
He just needs the right environment to advance his development
and Estrela is certainly an excellent place for that."
"Winning the Liga Revelação U-23 last year is a testament to the strength of our youth development programme
which is dedicated to investing in young international talents like Asis," said Estrela sporting director José Faria
"I'm extremely confident that Estrela provides the most conducive environment for a young talent from Singapore to succeed
and we look forward to contributing to his development here
"Asis has huge potential to achieve big things in football
so we're happy to have him with us and we want him to work as hard as he can over here."
While Asis is yet to win his first senior cap for Singapore
he has featured at the highest age-group level having been part of the side that competed in the qualifiers for the most recent edition of the AFC U-23 Asian Cup
Snow has fallen again in the central massif of Serra da Estrela and led to the closure of several sections of the National Road (EN) 339
between Piornos (Covilhã) and Portela do Arão (Seia)
12 (Torre-Torre) and 13 (Portela do Arão-Torre) have been closed since 7:10 pm on Monday due to snowfall
There is still no forecast for the reopening of the road,” a source from the Sub-regional Emergency and Civil Protection Command of Beiras and Serra da Estrela told Lusa news agency
The Portuguese Institute of the Sea and Atmosphere (IPMA) had predicted snowfall at the highest points of the Serra da Estrela
dropping the altitude to 1,400/1,600 metres at the end of this Monday
IPMA maintains the forecast of snowfall in the highlands of the northern and central interior
lowering the level to 800/1000 meters in altitude in the extreme north until early morning
A slight drop in temperature and the formation of ice or frost are also expected in some places in the northeast of Trás-os-Montes and Beira Alta

On Sunday Estrela host Farense in Amadora in a relegation six-pointer
It is a rerun of one of the most unlikely Portuguese Cup finals ever played
PortuGOAL’s resident football historian Miguel Lourenço Pereira takes us on another trip down memory lane
A second-tier side against a team that had just landed in the top tier
It was the most unexpected Portuguese Cup final you could imagine
and you got two for the price of one!
A Bola cover the day after the first match that ended Estrela 1-1 Farense after extra time
In 1989/90 Portuguese football went nuts as the Big Three and the usual contenders to win the Cup were sent home one by one
the Jamor stadium became the stage for a showdown between newcomers Estrela da Amadora and the Algarve’s most successful side
A tie so tight that it needed a replay to separate the teams
A feast for those who particularly enjoy placing themselves against all that modern football stands for.
When Tirsense travelled to das Antas to put Porto to the sword
the last representative of the Big Three was dumped out of the Cup final
but more so as it was only the round of sixteen of the competition
Both Benfica and Sporting had already been knocked out of the tournament in the previous rounds
Vitória SC and Belenenses were seen as the clear favourites
having recently played the final – and in the case of the Restelo boys
won it – but they too were beaten in the semis by two football clubs who had little to no history to show for in Portuguese football up to that moment
the duel between Beira-Mar and Campomaiorense would probably be cited by Portuguese football fans as more of an underdog final
none of them were playing on the second tier at the time
Estrela had only recently been promoted for the first time ever to the top flight
Imagine something like a Casa Pia versus Penafiel today and you’ll somehow get the picture of what happened once the semi-finals were done and the football nation braced itself for an unexpected showpiece.
it was a festive atmosphere at Jamor for the traditional season-ending showpiece occasion - twice!
A terror for journalists who didn’t know how to pitch it to bigger audiences and for the organisation who panicked at the prospect of having empty seats at the Jamor stadium for the last big game of the season
especially because it was being broadcast as well by state TV channel
Estrela were seen as favourites but only because they played first-division football at the time. They had ousted Vitória in a tense semi-final and had a team full of seasoned players such as Duílio
Rebelo and upcoming future internationals like Paulo Bento
and yet the side led by João Alves finished only 13th in the league table
a meagre seven points above the drop zone and almost twenty shy of Vitória
Not only had their historical local rival from the Algarve Portimonense just been relegated to the second tier
but they also got themselves promoted as the league was increased to 20 teams during that summer
the former Barcelona player turned manager
after having spent the final years of his footballing career in southern Portugal
would become an iconic figure for the club and a heartwarming manager if ever there was one in his day
The team comprised low-profile players and a big Brazilian contingent with the likes of Pitico
Mané and Ricardo helping the club reach both the Primeira Liga and the Cup final in the same season
They would later be famed for incorporating several players from Morocco and eastern Europe but only the Yugoslavian goalkeeper Zoran Lemajic was in the side during the 1989/90 season
Nobody knew then but this was going to be a two-part drama
Jamor filled up with supporters from both sides
thousands came to celebrate a historic feat of Portuguese football with the fact Amadora was right next door to Oeiras certainly helping as well
Alves had most of his key players available and sent a side in full force with Melo in goal
For Farense Forte’s favourite starting eleven also was selected for the match
with the Yugoslavian keeper playing alongside Eugénio
Neither side were glamorous or had high-profile players but what they lacked in flair they made up for in commitment by the bucketload
the match became a contest of which side could hold their nerve better and without many goal-scoring chances
the game unsurprisingly moved to extra-time
Estrela scored the opener through substitute Nélson Borges
A low shot from outside of the box whistled past Lemajic’s stretched arms and nestled in the net
There was still almost half an hour of football to play but many believed the task was done
Farense became known during the 1990s for their fighting spirit and that was already well perceived during the Cup run of that season
a cross into the box was met with confusion by players from all sides until Cruz
found a way to shoot exactly to the same spot that Borges had sent his shot
Melo was unable to block the ball and the game was tied
There were only three minutes left on the clock
both sides knew that an extra match was due to be played in the coming days and they went at each other’s throats for the dying seconds but to no avail
The Portuguese Federation now had an issue in its hands
The game needed to be scheduled within the same week
but many supporters from both sides couldn’t afford another trip or even the ticket for the rematch so the atmosphere around the replay was startlingly different to the first match
A Bola gave a gushing individual player rating to Paulo Bento
“In our opinion the major player of the final
was always the first to push his team on the attack
was always the first to help out defending when Farense countered
Owing to his influence he had a man-marker on him all game but the young player always had the knowhow and ability to free himself from his adversaries
A great triumph for a player with a promising future.”
Estrela appeared to be more in control than they had ever been during the previous matchday
and Paulo Bento opened the scoring within the half-hour
The future Portugal international and national team manager
despite being just 20 years old at the time
was a key player in that Estrela midfield machine and was later yellow-carded for a foul typical of his rugged style of play
It was in the 62nd minute and as the match restarted
Estrela immediately won the ball back and Ricardo Lopes netted the second goal of the afternoon
This time there would be no comeback for Fortes’ men
the Tricolour side from Amadora never lost control of the action and as the final whistle was heard at the Jamor
supporters and players celebrated in ecstasy
Estrela were nothing but a suburban Lisbon club with no history or capacity to compete against the bigger sides
both from white Portuguese who lived in what were the nation’s colonies back in the day – the so-called retornados – but also from black African communities coming from Mozambique
Cape Verde and Guinea had transformed the town completely
boosting it with new life and a reinvigorated attitude
That eventually transpired into the local football club and the Reboleira ground became alive with this injection of ambition and fearless attitude that allowed Estrela to climb the ranks all the way up to the First Division
Winning the Cup was unexpected but also the reward for this newfound community and the club would be taking part in the following season’s Cup Winners Cup
and despite being declared bankrupt in the new millennium they recently resurfaced under a new banner and have established themselves once again at the top table
who also suffered almost two decades of ignominy but since have once again tasted the flavour of the country’s football elite
The two matches characterised the spirit and ethos of both clubs and how Portuguese football was still
something that seems that have been lost recently
3 June 1990 will forever be the day when the underdogs definitively prevailed
By Miguel Lourenço Pereria, author of “Bring Me That Horizon – A Journey to the Soul of Portuguese Football”.

a young up-and-comer from the New York Red Bulls
the kid who was once a beacon of hope for the future of MLS is now set to shine in Portugal
But what does this move mean for the Red Bulls
Bento’s story is one of those rare early blooms
He stepped onto the professional scene just a day shy of 15
making him the fourth youngest player to sign in MLS history
Bento’s development was more like a cloudy day that never really broke into sunshine
Follow MLS Multiplex on X (Twitter).
He spent most of his time playing for New York Red Bulls II—a team that’s great for cutting your teeth but not exactly where you’d expect the next Messi to emerge
Bento never really got his shot to prove himself with the Red Bulls’ first team
Or is the MLS system dropping the ball when it comes to nurturing young talent
are chasing their 15th consecutive playoff appearance
trying to keep their competitive edge in MLS
But this relentless pursuit of immediate success might be costing them in the long run
the system often opts for seasoned players who can deliver quick results
And Bento Estrela is now en route to Lisbon
joining one of Portugal’s most storied clubs
Sporting has a knack for turning young talents into global superstars
who started there before conquering the world
If there’s a place where Bento can finally realize his full potential
But let’s be real—Bento’s success at Sporting is no sure thing
He’s going to face challenges he’s never encountered before—from grueling training sessions to the breakneck pace of the Primeira Liga
But this is also the golden opportunity he’s been waiting for
Bento could not only achieve his dreams but also pave the way for other young MLS talents who feel stuck in a system that often seems too focused on the here and now
But don’t get it twisted—losing a talent like Bento Estrela isn’t something to shrug off
It’s a wake-up call that something might be off in how young players are being managed in MLS
If the league truly wants to compete on the global stage
it needs to start paying more attention to its young players
making sure they get the game time and support they need to develop
Bento Estrela’s story will be just one of many
and MLS will keep being seen as a league that exports promises instead of producing stars

He spent most of his time playing for New York Red Bulls II—a team that’s great for cutting your teeth but not exactly where you’d expect the next Messi to emerge. With 36 appearances and just one assist, Bento never really got his shot to prove himself with the Red Bulls’ first team. Did he truly get the chance he deserved? Or is the MLS system dropping the ball when it comes to nurturing young talent?
The Red Bulls, of course, are chasing their 15th consecutive playoff appearance, trying to keep their competitive edge in MLS. But this relentless pursuit of immediate success might be costing them in the long run. Players like Bento, who should be groomed for stardom, end up on the sidelines—no game time, no real chance to shine. Instead of fostering these young talents, the system often opts for seasoned players who can deliver quick results.
So, what happens next? They leave. And Bento Estrela is now en route to Lisbon, joining one of Portugal’s most storied clubs, Sporting. This is no small move. Sporting has a knack for turning young talents into global superstars. Just look at Cristiano Ronaldo, who started there before conquering the world. If there’s a place where Bento can finally realize his full potential, it’s at Sporting.
The transfer of the promising Portuguese midfielder marks a new chapter for the Red Bulls
once a promising talent from Flamengo who honed his skills at Portugal's Estrela Amadora
But here’s the kicker: it’s not just about his talent
The real intrigue lies in the percentages and the tug-of-war over who gets the biggest slice of the pie
The transfer of young Igor Jesus to LA Galaxy is shaping up to be anything but boring
LA Galaxy snagged 90% of the player’s economic rights
keeping 10% for a potential payday down the line
what does holding onto such a small slice of a player across the Atlantic really mean
If you’re not familiar with the inner workings of soccer deals
dividing economic rights can sound as complicated as rocket science
Clubs worldwide are constantly trading percentages of players like stocks on Wall Street
Flamengo cashed out and washed their hands of the whole thing
decided to roll the dice and hold on to their 10%
and Igor’s value could skyrocket in a few years
holding onto 10% of a player now an ocean away is risky
that 10% might end up worth less than a ticket to a preseason friendly
comes with that shiny "Brazilian talent" label
and snapping up South American players is part of the plan to make the MLS more competitive
But Igor isn’t just another name on a list
He’s carrying the weight of big expectations
It’s not every day an American club shells out $4 million for someone who’s still flying under the radar
The Brazilian giant has always been sharp at spotting talent
it’s the habit of selling players too soon
Igor Jesus didn’t even have the chance to become a household name in Rio
making a name for himself at Estrela Amadora
especially considering Flamengo already cashed out
But with the way Brazilian player values are soaring
Maybe Igor could’ve brought in double or even triple that amount
he’s hitting one of the most critical stages of his career
The Galaxy won’t just want results; they’ll demand them
The MLS might not have the same pressure as Europe’s big leagues
Igor will need to show he’s more than just a percentage split between clubs
Whether he becomes a star in the MLS or just another forgotten name
has cashed out and moved on without much of a backward glance

The weekend results in Portugal’s top flight proved the last straw for the boards of Estrela da Amadora and Farense
who decided to sack their respective head coaches Filipe Martins and José Mota
The two clubs currently occupy the last two positions in the Liga Portugal and are the only teams yet to win this campaign after six matches of the 2024/25 season.
Expectations at Estrela were high after a number of high-profile signings in the summer
who returned to Portugal to play for his hometown club
Two other former Sporting playes Alan Ruiz and Jovane Cabral were also contracted – something of a coup given the stature of the club from the Lisbon suburbs
who did such an impressive job at another Lisbon minnow
failed to get the best out of the talented new recruits
Rumours of an uneasy relationship with the board going back to the summer did not help the situation
and the 1-0 defeat against Santa Clara in the Azores on Saturday proved his last game in charge
Estrela have not named Martins’ successor as of yet
but former Estoril manager Vasco Seabra is believed to be well placed.

Six defeats out of six and a horrendous goal difference of -11 made the dismissal of veteran coach José Mota by Farense inevitable
