Rui Vitória watched the team game where he started his coaching career (and where he was also a player) and had reason to celebrate, in the 55th minute, when Nené put the ball in the back of the net in Jhonatan’s custody and broke the void. .
The answer would eventually emerge at the final whistle. Pedro Mendes, a striker on loan from Sporting at Vilacondenses until the end of this season, restored equality in the 83rd minute and, in injury time, sealed the final result.
