Decisive figure settles it late as Santa Clara edge Gil Vicente | OneFootball

Vinicius won it in the fifth minute of second half stoppage time with a right-footed strike from outside the box, giving Santa Clara a 1-0 win over Gil Vicente.

Introduced after the break, the Brazilian forward added thrust, drawing two fouls and finding two touches in the box while linking play with two passes in the final third.

Then, in the fifth minute of second half stoppage time, Vinicius took José Tavares's lay-off following a corner and drove a low effort from outside the area into the bottom right corner.

He finished with one attempt, one on target, two possessions won and one interception in 28 minutes, underlining an efficient, match-deciding cameo.

His movement into pockets and readiness to shoot from range kept Gil Vicente pinned back and maintained Santa Clara's late pressure.

Santa Clara rise from 14th to 13th in Liga Portugal. They visit Sporting CP next. Gil Vicente drop from fifth to sixth and host AVS next.
