Match Report
Arouca pulled off a convincing 3-1 win at Barcelos to hand Gil Vicente a damaging home defeat in round 33 of the Liga Portugal Betclic. The match was largely settled in a breathless 21-minute burst that produced all four goals.
Bas Kuipers broke the deadlock on 61 minutes for Arouca, but Gil Vicente hit back almost immediately through Luís Esteves just two minutes later. The equaliser proved short-lived — Ivan Barbero restored Arouca's lead on 67 minutes, and Taichi Fukui sealed it with a composed finish on 82.
The defeat leaves Gil Vicente sixth with 50 points, three adrift of Famalicão in fifth ahead of a final-day trip to Sporting. Arouca climb to 39 points and tenth place, signing off the run-in on a high.
