O jogo estava travado até o intervalo; a goleada veio toda depois. Foi assim que o Famalicão construiu o 4 a 0 sobre o Rio Ave, na tarde deste domingo (25), no estádio dos Arcos, em Vila do Conde, pela nona rodada do Campeonato Português.
No primeiro tempo, nada de gol. O Rio Ave teve 58% de posse de bola e criou pouco: duas finalizações no alvo, ambas defendidas por Carević. Os visitantes chutaram 12 vezes, cinco delas certas. Antes do intervalo, o destaque eram só os amarelos de Vasco César Freire de Seabra e Miguel Patricío.
Aos três minutos da etapa final, Roméo Beney abriu o placar, servido por Rodrigo Pinheiro. A partir dos 15, o técnico Ricardo Silva começou a mexer no time — e as entradas mudaram o jogo. Pedro Santos, que entrou justamente aos 15, apareceu aos 35 para marcar o segundo, depois de receber de Marcos Vinicios Lopes Moura.
Aí foi a vez de Óscar Aranda Subiela, que entrou aos 38 e marcou dois minutos depois, servido por Pedro Santos. Nos acréscimos, aos 50, ele mesmo converteu um pênalti e fechou a conta.
O Rio Ave cometeu 21 faltas, contra 15 do rival, e ainda viu Jose Carlos Teixeira Lopes Reis Goncalves e Francisco Petrasso receberem amarelo — quatro advertências para os donos da casa.
O Famalicão chega a 10 pontos e é o 11º; nos últimos cinco jogos da competição, são duas vitórias, dois empates e uma derrota. O Rio Ave para nos sete pontos, em 17º, com uma vitória, um empate e três derrotas na sequência recente.
As duas equipes voltam a jogar no domingo (1). O Rio Ave terá o Académico Viseu pela frente; o Famalicão, fora de casa, encara o Braga.
