Roméo Beney set Famalicao on the way to a 4-0 away win over Rio Ave, scoring in the 48th minute with a left-foot shot from outside the area. The game had stayed level through the first half, but Beney's strike gave the visitors control and they kept building from there.
Beney's opener and the late finish
A Bola's match report described Beney's goal as the best moment of the game, and it was easy to see why. He fooled Vrousai on the line, cut inside and beat Vitor Hugo with a placed finish that opened the floodgates.
Pedro Santos made it 2-0 in the 80th minute after a pass from Marcos Vinicios Lopes Moura, and Óscar Aranda made his return after more than a month out count in the closing stages. He scored in the 85th minute, then added a stoppage-time penalty to complete the rout.
Rio Ave's league wait against Famalicao
The result also extended Rio Ave's frustration in this fixture. After 13 league matches, they still have not beaten Famalicao in league competition.
Ricardo Silva's side never found a way back once Beney struck, and the fourth goal came before the final whistle had any chance of mattering. For Rio Ave, the defeat is another heavy one to absorb. For Famalicao, it was a clean away performance and four goals that arrived after the break, with Beney's 48th-minute opener doing the most damage.
The teams met in Rio Ave vs Famalicao, and the scoreline stayed at 4-0 all the way through stoppage time.
