The story so far in the Primeira Liga for Famalicão at their home stadium (Estádio Municipal 22 de Junho) is 3 wins, 6 draws and 5 defeats.

Midfielder Pedrinho was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.95. Pedrinho served one assist and hit four key passes.

Prior to that match, the Gil Vicente manager Ribeiro faced defeat when travelling to Arouca and losing 1-2.
