This Sunday, the goals of the footballers Roko Baturina and Fujimoto sealed Gil Vicente’s passport to the fourth round of the Portuguese Cup by beating Belenenses 2-1, after going into halftime losing.
A match between Belenenses and Gil Vicente will always be more than a simple football match. The rivalry is not only old but was seasoned with the Mateus case, which dictated the administrative relegation of the Gilistas in the 2005/06 season to the II League and the subsequent maintenance of the Blues in the highest category of Portuguese football.
Added to this were the last two confrontations between both teams. In the 2014/15 season, the last in which the two teams met, Restelo won both league games, both 2-0.
Episodes that remain engraved in the memory of the fans of the Barcelos team, clearly evident in the brilliance with which the fans made themselves heard every time the cheerleader shouted for Belenenses.
Maybe that’s why when they saw Midana Sambú fly, after two minutes, head the ball into the back of Gil Vicente’s goal, after a corner taken by Chapi Romano, they didn’t let up and kept the flame alive.
From then on, possession of the ball and the direction of the game belonged to Gil Vicente, who saw Belenenses goalkeeper Guilherme Oliveira deny equality, in the 14th and 47th minutes, with shots from Roko Baturina and Maxime, respectively.
It was not surprising, therefore, that Roko Baturina, in the 68th minute, equalized for Gil Vicente, assisted by Fujimoyo, who recovered the ball with his head in the center of the field and made it 1-1.
Duarte Valente’s handball, inside the area, in the 80th minute, forced the Algarve referee Nuno Almeida to signal a penalty, however Murilo’s shot ended up being stopped by Guilherme Oliveira, a goalkeeper who could no longer do anything against Fujimoto, in the 87th minute. that sealed the goal. Result, with a strong shot from the edge of the area.
