Brito saw off Vila-Polka 5-0 in the Round of 128 of the Portuguese Cup on 20 September 2026. The visitors were two goals ahead by half-time after a red card shifted the balance early on. They then went on to score three more, crossing the line at 50, 55 and 78 minutes. The result takes Brito into the next stage comfortably.
The turning point came at the five-minute mark when Vila-Polka's player was shown red. To be fair, the hosts still had shape for a while, but the incident changed everything. Brito took advantage straight away, netting in the 28th minute. By then the visitors had played the second half a man up, and the pressure told. The goal at 45 plus two closed the first half with a clear advantage.
Brito did not let up after the break. The opener in the 50th minute was followed quickly by another in the 55th. The hosts were out of sight by half-time, really, and the third-half goals merely confirmed it. The seventh-minute strike at 78 minutes ended a barren spell for the visitors, who had been waiting for this run.
The statistics tell a straightforward story. Brito held 55 per cent possession and fired eight shots on target, compared to two from the hosts. Vila-Polka managed only four corners and had to take 11 goal kicks. The visitors shot nine times off target too, but the difference in quality showed up on the scoreboard.
Brito move on in the competition with this comprehensive win. The scoreline reflects a match where three or four moments decided the outcome, the rest being background noise. They now have one foot in the next round, and the deeper squad showed its strength on the day.
