Boavista‘s return to victory is complete! During their visit to the <a href="https://www.archysport.com/2023/08/gil-vicente-vs-benfica-primeira-liga-clash-preview-and-live-streaming-information/" title="Gil Vicente vs Benfica: Primeira Liga Clash Preview and Live Streaming Information”>Estádio Cidade de Barcelos, Pantera was patient in waiting for the best moment, knew how to deal with the greater volume of Gil Vicente’s game during the opening 45′ and put an end to the drought of triumphs that had dragged on since matchday 1. of a luxury restart (1-2). It’s time to say: feline and (again) with a smile!
With three changes made in relation to the setback against Santa Clara – Mutombo, Kazu and Aguirre replaced Zé Carlos, Sandro Cruz and Cauê Santos -, the Gilistas took, unsurprisingly, control of the game. Faced with a Boavista team balanced in its defensive and offensive version and with just one change – Vukotic came on for Ibrahima Camará – in the face of the home setback against Moreirense, there was a balanced first stage, despite Gil’s ascendancy.
With greater defensive concerns and the mission to take space from artists like Félix Correia and Fujimoto, the Boavista fans started with a sign best illustrated by Abascal’s first-time shot, in the first minute. From then on, the training led by Bruno Pinheiro reached the timings to attack the checkered goal and, despite the outsider’s effort to surprise – sometimes in mid-range, sometimes in an organized attack -, the best approaches came from the Minho team.

Mboula was just a few centimeters away from converting Fujimoto’s cross/shot into a goal and Félix Correia found Pedro Gomes’s cut to be the biggest impediment in getting Gil ahead – a great foray from the League’s debutant, Mutombo -, before the big loss in the 45th minute. ‘ initials. Face-to-face with César, after a visionary pass made by Santi García, the ex-Juventus winger shot… into the side net to the dismay of the home team’s fans.
Between these gaps of uncertainty supported to a large extent by the supported football and breaking moves of the three players mentioned – Santi is proving to be a reinforcement -, Boavista distanced, with the clock ticking, the gilistas from César’s temple and began to believe in advantage, after a few minutes installed in the opposite defensive third, where a new shot from Abascal was the most enlightening move.
Blows without mercy
This clarification came out in the opening stretch of the second half. Caught in the drowsiness of returning from the locker room, Gil showed great apathy in attacking the ball carrier and, at 51′, trailed 0-2. Vukotic opened hostilities on the rebound after Filipe Ferreira’s first great shot hit the post and, fueled by the confidence conferred by the advantage, the Panthers exposed their claws again and doubled the scores.

With space in the middle, Miguel Reisinho submitted the necessary pass for Joel Silva to cause new damage – Buatu missed the interception – and confirmed another eruption of the checkered volcano present in Barcelona. If there was any doubt, the goal gave the seal of quality to the midfielder trained at Bessa, in a match in which he was, to say the least and being euphemistic, tireless!
With no time to waste, Bruno Pinheiro sent Pablo and Cauê forward and, after some well-resolved approaches by the checkered defense, here was the goal from the number 20: first time and with a full foot, the result was once again transformed.
With around 20′ to go, Gil remained in the fight to restore the search for points, trying to limit the checkered range of action as much as possible, but was unable to avoid the defeat. In the best situation until the end, Tidjany Touré shot fire from his boot, but César showed other intentions and blocked the path to his goal.
