July 29, 2026 – Estádio do Clube Desportivo das Aves

AVS Futebol SAD put on a dominant display to record a comprehensive 3–0 win over Vianense in an International Club Friendly on Thursday evening. The Liga Portugal 2 side controlled the match from start to finish, showcasing their superior quality in a one-sided pre-season encounter.

Match Overview

AVS took the lead inside the opening ten minutes when forward Rui Fonte pounced on a defensive error to slot home from close range. The home side doubled their advantage shortly before half-time as winger Nuno Santos curled a delightful free-kick into the top corner. After the break, AVS continued to press and added a third through substitute Hélder Ferreira, who finished a counter-attack with aplomb in the 67th minute.

Key Moments

• 8’ – Rui Fonte capitalises on a mix-up in the Vianense defence (1–0).
• 42’ – Nuno Santos scores direct from a free-kick (2–0).
• 67’ – Hélder Ferreira seals the win after a rapid breakaway (3–0).

Tactical Story

AVS deployed a fluid 4-2-3-1 that allowed creative midfielders to roam, causing constant problems for the Vianense backline. Vianense, from the lower tiers, struggled to cope with the pace and movement and rarely threatened AVS’s goal.

Standout Players

• Nuno Santos (AVS) – His set-piece delivery was a constant threat, and his goal was a standout moment.
• Rui Fonte (AVS) – The experienced striker led the line well and scored early to set the tone.

The result gives AVS Futebol Sád confidence as they continue their pre-season preparations for the upcoming Liga Portugal 2 campaign.
