 "Arouca-Vizela (5-0): ‘Manita’ of the Spanish fury")
Tremendous rout from Arouca, with no chance for Vizela, who can complain a little about their luck, but above all about themselves
Rafa Mújica, Cristo González and Jason Remeseiro, Arouca’s Spanish armada, the men on Daniel Sousa’s front line, destroyed Vizela.
It didn’t take long to realize that there was a lot of danger there, as in the 3rd minute Mújica threatened Vizela’s goal.
On the other side there was also a desire to stand out and Nuno Moreira was close to opening the scoring soon after, but the story of the first half was written with Mújica’s signature execution (11′), an impeccable shot from outside the area benefiting from Anderson’s mistake, and Christ’s audacity, attacking a ball in the heart of the area, which resulted in a penalty and his own goal (17′).
There was also history on Vizela’s side, who deserved his goal, but a sad story. Essende missed at least two occasions to reduce the score and even ended up leaving the pitch before half-time, injured.
Vizela’s reaction was expected after the break, but misfortune returned to knock on the visitors’ door. Another play built between the Spanish, Jason ran away with danger, trying to serve Mújica in the heart of the area, where Matheus Pereira appeared to cut… into his own goal (50′).
Afterwards, the Spaniards from Arouca continued their search for the goal, but luck also continued to have nothing to do with Vizela, Dylan, who came in well, shot at the post.
In the blink of an eye, Jason, another escape, crossed from the right and Mújica, with a header, made it 4-0 (86′), with great quality. Our brothers are not good hosts, at least that trio from Arouca.
Not satisfied, Cristo González still made an incursion into the Vizelense area, shooting for 5-0 in the 90+2 minute. It already seemed like torture to the visitors.
Daniel Sousa’s team therefore advances to the first half of the table, while Vizela remains in the relegation zone, suffering defeat after defeat.
End the match! ‘Manita’ in Arouca.
An unblemished victory for the hosts, led by their impish attacking Spaniards. Vizela can complain about his luck, but he goes, from victory to victory, sinking into the relegation zone.
90+2 – GOAL! 5-0, by Cristo González. Spanish, of course, great individually, doing what he wanted from Vizela’s defense, until the final shot.
86′ – GOAL! 4-0, for Mújica. Striker showing all his quality, this time with a header, shooting from a slight angle, towards the second post, making the ball rise and go over Buntic.
80′ – Dylan hits the post! It almost reduced Vizela.
66′ – Mújica threatens again! She shot slightly over the post.
58′ – Cristo tries, with an individual move and with some selfishness in the mix, to extend the advantage, Buntic defends.
Vizela tries to react, Ma-Sy and Mendez threaten Arruabarrena.
Throw in the area on Jason analyzed by VAR, but the game continues, there is no foul.
50′ – GOAL! 3-0, by Matheus Pereira, in his own goal. An obvious misfortune, as the Vizela player tried to intercept Jason’s pass to Mújica. Ball right in the goal.
The second part begins!
Break in Arouca!
Arouca easily beat Vizela, with goals from Mújica and Cristo González, from a penalty. Visitors missed several occasions and their attacking reference, Essende, was injured.
5 minutes of extra time.
Essende signals the bank and asks for a replacement.
43′ – Ba-Sy enters the field, replacing Essende, Vizela’s attacking reference.
Essende is playing with great physical difficulties, the replacement is expected.
23′ – What a waste! Assende misses Vizela’s goal again, this time with a header, missing the goal, when he was in the frontal area.
19′ – Assende almost reduced it, isolated, shot across, just a few centimeters from the post.
17′ – GOAL! 2-0, by Cristo González, from a penalty. Low shot to the left side of Buntic’s goal.
14′ – Penalty in Arouca, for the home team. Take down Escoval over Cristo González.
11′ – GOAL! 1-0, for Mújica. Anderson’s incomplete cut at the edge of Vizela’s area, the ball went straight to Mújica, who didn’t wait a second to aim at the goal, shooting hard and placed, making the ball go in close to the right post.
5′ – Nuno Moreira responds in kind and almost makes it 0-1. He broke through the Arouca area, but missed the goal.
4′ – Mújica inspires respect: first warning, ball into Buntic’s hands.

Vizela remembers happy memories.
Rubén de la Barrera, Vizela’s coach, wants to start the recovery tonight.
Daniel Sousa, Arouca’s coach, devalued the elimination of the Portuguese Cup against Vizela.
Attention, however, to Vizela: he beat Arouca this month, in a Portuguese Cup game. For the League, in the first round (day 2), there was a draw.
Arouca and Vizela enter the field to break the tie between them: eight games, three wins for each side and two draws. The hosts are still doing well, in the middle of the table, and can get closer to the pack led by Moreirense, the visitors want to break the negative trend: they have been eight rounds without winning in the Championship.
