Vasco Fernandes secures a spot in the defensive sector of the Liga Portugal SABSEG Team of the Year

The Casa Pia AC captain was crucial in the team's journey that culminated with their return to the top flight of Portuguese football

Vasco Fernandes is the second name announced for the Liga Portugal SABSEG Team of the Year. The captain of Casa Pia AC was one of the most voted players by the coaches and captains of the competition.

A starter in 31 matches of the competition, the 22-year-old experienced player hit the opponent's net twice, having also added an assist. But it was in the defensive sector that he stood out even more, with a total of 156 ball recoveries.

After goalkeeper Ricardo Batista, this is the second Casa Pia AC player to feature in the Team of the Year, in a season that culminated with the return of the Geese to the top level of Portuguese football.
