The Swiss midfielder's only goal secured the three points for Vitor Campelos' side against Fimaranenses, which started well but allowed the Roosters to thrive, especially in the second half.
This result may seem like a surprise, given that Guimarães' good season under Álvaro Pacheco has seen favoritism move towards the visitors, but only to those who did not watch the match.
Vitoria started well, pressing, trying to occupy Gil's midfield, and after just seven minutes they had a great opportunity, with a close-range shot from Nuno Santos that was saved magnificently by Andrew, who prevented the opposition's victory from entering the match. Álvaro Pacheco's team tried to maintain its dominance, but little by little Gil Vicente was able to balance operations, closing spaces and not allowing any more dangerous movements for Guimarães, while trying to create one or another counterattack capable of creating danger in return. region.
Only after the 30th minute did the Roosters create danger, with a back heel from Maxime Dominguez finding Fujimoto inside the area, where he attempted a cross/shot that was blocked by Bruno Varela.
These were the only two dangerous plays in the opening 45 minutes, as the score was accepted at 0-0, which seemed to be adjusted for little danger created by both sides.
But after the break, the symptoms of the first half became more apparent: Vitoria were in a straitjacket, unable to play their game in the final third, and watching their front three – Jota Silva, Andre Silva and Nuno Santos – without a defender. Able to build attacks to reach goal, Vitor Campellos' side calmed down with the ball and identified transitions better, even creating more dangerous opportunities.
Just after the hour mark, in the 63rd minute, Bruno Varela denied Martim Neto, and after moving in, Murillo hit the post, a double warning that Vitoria responded to immediately afterwards, with a shot from new signing Joao Mendes. Who had everything he needed to open the scoring in front of Andrew's goal and shot over it.
Alvaro Pacheco tried to change the course of events, and even removed Jota Silva, who was replaced by Andre Andre, but the team did not improve on the offensive level and ended up collapsing in the 85th minute, in a quick transition in which Murillo participated. Maxime Dominguez sent a pass from his right foot aimed at the head of the Swiss midfielder, who scored the equalizer with a perfect header and header, which left Guimarães 'KO'.
