This clash, which is always considered a "duel of the east", was an anticipated match corresponding to the still distant 13th round of the Girabola, taking into account the involvement of both clubs in CAF competitions. The "diamantíferos" are in the group stage of the African Champions League, while the "maquizardes" are also competing in a group stage, but in the CAF Cup.
At the end of the match, coach António Lebo, who leads Sagrada Esperança, emphasised the fact that a penalty had not been awarded in favour of his team. However, he now emphasises the importance of preparing for the next match, against Carmona FC, from Uíge.
The coach of Bravo do Maquis was not dissatisfied with the result, saying that the match against Sagrada Esperança was "a hymn to football".
The 13th round of the Girabola will only take place in the second week of December, with matches between 1.º de Agosto and Petro de Luanda and Desportivo da Lunda Sul and Kabuscorp do Palanca, among others.
The national football championship will continue next weekend, with round 9 scheduled.
