Greens add former Swieqi United forward Peinado to their ranks
Mġarr United have announced the arrival of Brazilian defensive midfielder Luana Vitoria Cabral, on Thursday.
Cabral’s arrival will help them fill the spot in front of their defensive backline with coach Michael Mangion often making use of a single pivot in both his trademark 4-1-4-1 and 4-4-2 shapes.
The 23-year-old has been training and featuring in pre-season friendlies but was not registered in time ahead of last week’s women’s league opener against San Ġwann which the Greens won 2-1.
Cabral, who last played in Brazil at U.D.A, is expected to available for selection when Mġarr face Hibernians this Saturday.
Meanwhile, Mġarr have also strengthened their forward line with the acquisition of Fernanda Peinado.
Peinado is familiar with Maltese football having been on the books of Swieqi United in the last couple of seasons.
The Brazilian forward was part of the team that defeated Hibernians in the Knock-Out competition final last season.
