In the penultimate match of the 3rd round of the League – Benfica hosts P. Ferreira on the 30th of this month – there was a goalless draw between Gil Vicente and Famalicao. The opening moments of the derby against Minho promised a lot of emotion when, in the opening minute, Cadile missed a clear opportunity to score Famalican’s first goal of the season. In a stop-and-call game, Gil Vicente answered with a header from Danilo, who was defended by Luis Junior. In the 27th minute, Famalican scored a goal, but Claudio Pereira parried Cadile’s arm before Millan put the ball into the net.
In the 2nd half, the first dangerous move was made only in the 67th minute, when Fran Navarro missed Kevin’s cross, breaking through the gates of Famalicao. The guests responded with a dangerous shot by De La Fuente, and on 83′ Luis Junior showed himself in style, reflecting the blow of the Japanese Misuki. Gil was still close to scoring in the 88th minute, giving Famalican a break from Penetra.
The draw was a bad test for the guilists, who are forced to perform a miracle on Thursday to make up for the (4-0) disadvantage they brought from the Netherlands in the Conference League draw against AZ Alkmaar.
