Vitória de Guimarães scored five in a game again, this time in a 5-2 friendly win over Academico Viseu. Alioune Ndoye opened the scoring in the 27th minute and added the second in the 54th, while Andre Clovis replied with a brace to keep the visitors in touch.
Guimaraes' attacking response
The goals came from all over the forward line. Miguel Nogueira made it 3-1 a minute after Viseu had scored, then Patrick Ouotro and Ricardo Rocha struck in the 80th and 81st minutes to finish the job.
That spread matters more than the result itself. Vitória had gone scoreless against Gil Vicente and lost to FC Porto before this friendly, although they had already shown what they can do in the 5-0 win over Marítimo earlier.
Andre Clovis keeps Viseu dangerous
Andre Clovis' two goals were the one part of the afternoon that kept Academico Viseu alive after the break. He pulled one back in the 76th minute and scored again in the 82nd, and his season tally now stands at five goals in 11 appearances.
For Tiago Margarido, the better takeaway is that Viseu still had a scorer capable of making a rout uncomfortable. For Guimaraes, the stronger point is simpler, they did not need a single focal finisher to get to five. A friendly does not settle their attacking issues, but it does suggest the blunt spell may be easing before the next competitive outing.
