At least António Silva and Joao Neves performed. Im sure the board and scouters are happy
Neves and Aursnes were terrible in possession in the first half, Neves stood out in the second because he was creating passing lanes for Kokcu. But there were plenty of occasions, goal included where he was jogging back to defense.
It’s understandable because he had to run for 3 people in the first half, but it still happened.
