Vizela and Feirense drew (1-1) in the match that closed out the 12th round of the Segunda Liga. The Minho side fall further behind in the race for promotion, while the Fogaceiros remain in the danger zone of the league table. Edgar Ié, former Sporting and Barcelona player, did not leave the substitutes' bench for the visiting team.

The frenetic game opened with a goal from Leandro Antunes in the 4th minute, finishing off a counter-attack led by Desmond Nketia down the right. Feirense even celebrated a 2-0 lead in the 19th minute through António Leal, but the goal was disallowed for offside by the defender.

After a tough first half, Vizela improved their performance in the moments leading up to halftime, when Francisco Meixedo shone with a brave save against Miguel Tavares. The 1-1 equalizer eventually came in the 54th minute, with a great goal from Ítalo Henrique.

Vizela, coming off a win in Seixal against Benfica B, now have 20 points, one less than Académico de Viseu, who occupy third place, which grants access to the promotion play-off. As for Feirense, they have now gone four consecutive games without a win, sitting in 11th place with 13 points, the same as Leixões, Penafiel, and Felgueiras.

Afterwards, he played for Villarreal, Belenenses, Lille, Nantes, Feyenoord, Trabzonspor, Basaksehir, Dinamo Bucharest – where he faced serious accusations – before signing for Vizela.
