Gil Vicente has kicked off the new season with a bang. They have collected 10 points from their first five games. This strong start comes from three victories and one draw.
A rock-solid defense stands at the heart of this success. It’s been almost perfect. Goalkeeper Andrew proves this point clearly. He has only allowed goals in a single match this season. That game was against FC Porto, the current lone leader of Liga Betclic. It was also Gil Vicente’s only defeat of the season. FC Porto stands as the only team to break through their defensive wall.
Beyond that one slip, manager César Peixoto’s squad has been truly impressive. They kept clean sheets against Nacional, Famalicão, Moreirense, and Braga. This feat means even more when you consider these opponents. These are teams with real strength, or they are currently playing above expectations early in the season. Gil Vicente is quietly building something special, starting from the back.
