Tondela vs Gil Vicente

Tondela and Gil Vicente shared a breathless 2-2 draw on April 13, a match that made Portuguese football history when a new IFAB penalty rule was applied for the first time in the country. Rony Lopes put the hosts in front on 16 minutes, but Gil Vicente were soon awarded a spot-kick for handball. Murilo Souza's first attempt was ordered retaken after VAR confirmed he had deliberately touched the ball twice during the conversion — a regulation in force since July 2025 — and he calmly scored the retake on 28 minutes to level. Carlos Eduardo then looked to have snatched it for the visitors in the 90th minute, only for Joe Hodge to scramble home a penalty rebound in the 90+8th minute after keeper Dani Figueira had saved his initial effort. The point does little to ease Tondela's relegation fears — they sit 17th, four points from safety. Gil Vicente, sixth and in the European hunt, will regret surrendering two points so late on.
