Lusitânia Lourosa vs Academico Viseu

Arsénio Nunes's penalty conversion in the first half proved decisive. The early goal forced Académico Viseu — who had won all three of their previous pre-season outings — to chase the game with a second-string line-up, and they could not find a way through.

Arsénio Nunes (Lusitânia Lourosa) — scored the winning penalty, the only goal of the match. Named player of the match.

Igor Milioransa (Académico Viseu) — came closest to an equaliser for the visitors, hitting the post late on.

Bruno Pinheiro (Académico Viseu coach) — used the match to give minutes to squad players ahead of a double-header day, with a second friendly against Casa Pia scheduled later that evening.

The 1-0 scoreline reflects a tight contest between a Liga 2 side and a Liga Portugal Betclic opponent. Académico Viseu had averaged 4.3 goals per game across their three previous pre-season wins (5-0 vs Covilhã, 4-1 vs Lynx, 4-1 vs Al Fateh), but the heavily rotated XI — Pinheiro's fringe players for most of the match — created fewer clear chances. The late post from Milioransa and Clóvis's wide shot were the best of it. Lusitânia Lourosa, by contrast, took their one clear opportunity.

Académico Viseu suffered their first pre-season setback after three consecutive wins. The defeat came in the first of two matches scheduled on the same day — they later faced Casa Pia in a second friendly at the Fontelo, drawing 1-1. Lusitânia Lourosa continue their preparations for the 2026/27 Liga Portugal 2 campaign. Académico Viseu's return to top-flight action is scheduled for 9 August against Benfica.

A controlled, professional performance from Lusitânia Lourosa, who took their chance and defended the lead against a rotated Académico Viseu side. The result is a useful pre-season marker for the Liga 2 outfit, while Pinheiro will have learned more about his squad depth ahead of top-flight kick-off.
