Mariavál saw off Forneus Algoidris 4-0 in the Round of 128 of the Cup of Portugal on the afternoon of 30 August 2026. The visitors made no mistake from the outset, establishing control before the hosts could settle into any rhythm. It was a straightforward affair, though not entirely without its moments.
The difference in quality showed early. Mariavál pressed with purpose and found space where Forneus Algoidris looked disorganised. They extended their unbeaten run to eight across recent fixtures, and this performance suggested they were beginning to string things together properly. The hosts, by contrast, carried the weight of a 7-0 defeat in October behind them.
Statistically, the match told its own story. Mariavál won seven corners to one and issued only two goal kicks compared to twenty-one for their opponents. One yellow card for Forneus Algoidris was the sole disciplinary blemish in what was otherwise a clean contest. They let the game flow in their favour and simply took what came their way.
Forneus Algoidris were out-thought on the touchline, that much was clear. They struggled to win the ball back and spent much of the afternoon retreating. The wind, if there was any, ruined any passing game they might have attempted. What they needed was a spark, and it never materialised.
Mariavál's recent results paint a picture of a side finding its feet. After a string of draws against Униан Ламаш and Мортагуа, they had beaten Академика 1-0 and then won 2-1 against Тондела. This victory extended that momentum and showed they could close out a game when ahead.
The result leaves Mariavál progressing to the next round, while Forneus Algoidris face a long summer ahead. Four goals conceded in a single half is not a result to dwell on for long. They will need to regroup before the next campaign begins.
