Match between Feirense and Chaves postponed after positive results in flavians

Feirense – Chaves, from the first day of the II League, was postponed, in a day in which the Flavian team revealed to have had four positive results against the covid-19 in its working group.

With both teams ready to start the match, referee João Gonçalves received a phone call and briefly traveled to the access tunnel to the pitch.

In the SportTV television broadcast, the delegates of the Portuguese Professional Football League could also be seen talking on the phone, along with several executives from both clubs.

Already 27 minutes after the scheduled time for the start of the match, the referee whistled the players to leave the dressing room, without any official information having been provided so far.

During the morning, Desportivo de Chaves revealed that two players and two members of the technical team of Desportivo de Chaves were infected with the new coronavirus.

Midfielder Guzzo and goalkeeper Samu, as well as assistant coaches Pedro Machado and Tiago Castro, tested positive “although asymptomatic,” the Trás-os-Montes club revealed in a statement.
