The air buzzed with excitement at Estádio do Futebol Clube Vizela this past Saturday. Fans gathered not just for a game, but for a celebration. It was Vizela’s big day, their official introduction to supporters for the upcoming season. And what a show they put on, beating Celta de Vigo B by a solid 4-2. The match wasn’t just a friendly; it was a clear sign of the team’s attacking power and steady play.
Right from the first whistle, Vizela looked sharp. They wasted no time making their mark. Just four minutes in, Miguel Tavares found the back of the net. He linked up beautifully with Thio to give Vizela the early 1-0 lead. For the next half-hour, the home team controlled the game. They pushed forward often, getting close to the opponent’s goal several times.
Then, against the run of play, Celta B fought back. In the 37th minute, Barré finally scored for them. Vizela’s goalkeeper, Gomis, made two great saves in a row. But Barré didn’t give up, scoring on his third try. That goal woke up the Celta B team. They started to press more, creating their own chances.
Just when it seemed Celta B had found their rhythm, Vizela answered. In added time before halftime, Miguel Tavares struck again. Thio delivered another perfect cross, and Tavares headed it home. This made the score 2-1 for Vizela heading into the break.
Second Half Dominance and New Faces
Coach Ricardo Sousa clearly had his team ready for the second half. Vizela came out with even more pressure. The reward came quickly. In the 51st minute, Giovanny Bamba jumped high to score a header from close range. This pushed Vizela’s lead to 3-1. Seven minutes later, it was José Sampaio’s turn. He scored the fourth goal after a well-placed corner kick. Vizela was truly flying now.
Celta B managed to pull one back in the 68th minute. Bernard hit a well-placed shot that left Gomis no chance. The score settled at 4-2. This was the final score of a lively match.
Beyond the goals, the event was a big day for the club’s family. Before the game, fans got to see all the teams. The Under-19, Under-23, and main squads were introduced. Everyone also saw the new kits for the 2025/26 season. It was a true celebration of club spirit.
