Gil Vicente caps pre-season with 2-0 win as Portuguese clubs prepare for new season

Gil Vicente concluded its pre‑season with a 2‑0 victory over Penafiel at the Adelino Ribeiro Novo training centre in Barcelos. Goals were scored by Brazilian forward Walace França and Danish midfielder Andreas Lausen, both recent signings. Coach Luís Pinto used a large squad in the match and the win leaves the team with three wins, one draw and two defeats in its final five friendlies before the I Liga season opens against Rio Ave.

In the second division, União de Leiria drew 1‑1 with FC Porto B in a pre‑season match at Estádio Municipal Dr. Magalhães Pessoa. Jair Silva opened the scoring for Leiria, while Tiago Silva equalised for Porto B. The club, coached by Fábio Pereira, announced the arrivals of midfielder Hope Linus on loan from Al‑Ain and forward Samuel Ntanda from Anderlecht, bringing its new‑signings tally to eleven despite ongoing FIFA registration issues caused by unpaid debts.
