Vitória de Guimarães coach Tiago Margarido expressed frustration following a narrow home defeat against Arouca in the Liga Betclic season opener. Despite controlling 60% of possession and recording 24 shots, the team was unable to convert opportunities, with Margarido noting that Arouca scored following a mistake.

Margarido highlighted administrative difficulties regarding player availability, stating that players Mosquera and Patrick are unable to feature because pending documentation from the Agency for Integration, Migration and Asylum (AIMA) has not yet been processed. Additionally, the extent of a knee injury to Gustavo Silva remains uncertain.
