LISBON (Interstat) — SC Portugal W delivered a dominant performance Tuesday, routing FC Alverca 5-1 in a Taça da Liga Feminina group stage match at Estádio José Alvalade.

The lopsided victory provided a decisive response for the hosts, who were coming off a loss in their previous outing and had been surprisingly projected to lose by a pregame statistical model.

From the opening whistle, SC Portugal W exerted relentless pressure on the visiting side. The breakthrough came in a flurry just after the 20-minute mark, with forward Geovany Quenda scoring twice in quick succession. Quenda opened the scoring and then immediately doubled the advantage, putting the home side firmly in control.

The first-half onslaught continued just past the half-hour mark. Defender Salvador Blopa joined the attack, scoring two rapid-fire goals of his own to extend the lead to 4-0 before halftime. The four-goal margin starkly contrasted with the pregame projection from Interstat, whose game simulator had forecast a narrow 1-0 victory for FC Alverca.

The second half saw SC Portugal W maintain its command. Quenda completed her hat trick in the 58th minute, securing a five-goal lead and cementing her status as a key performer. FC Alverca managed to find a consolation goal in the 81st minute, with Fotios Ioannidis getting the visitors on the board. Sandro Lima added another for Alverca in the 85th minute, but it was too little, too late to change the match’s outcome.

The match was not without its disciplinary moments. Kaiky Naves, who entered the game as a substitute for SC Portugal W, was shown a yellow card in the 33rd minute. Naves later registered an assist, contributing to the offensive display.

The victory marks the first win of the season for SC Portugal W in all competitions, improving their overall record to one win and one loss. Their previous result was a 2-0 home defeat to Roma W on Sept. 18. Prior to that, they had secured a 2-1 victory over the same Roma W side on Sept. 11.

For FC Alverca, the defeat opens their campaign in the Portuguese women’s league cup. Both teams now hold records of zero wins and zero losses within the Taça da Liga Feminina competition, as this match served as the opening game for each side in the tournament.

The final result defied not only the specific scoreline prediction but also the broader probabilistic forecast. Interstat’s ELO system had given SC Portugal W a 98.60 percent chance of victory, a likelihood that the team’s overwhelming offensive execution ultimately fulfilled in emphatic fashion. The performances of Quenda and Blopa, who each scored multiple goals, proved instrumental in securing the comprehensive win.
