Simmy On Target For Vicente

Simeon Tochukwu Nwankwo was on song as rock-bottom Gil Vicente threw a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 against Vitoria Guimaraes in the Portuguese Primeira Liga on Saturday.


The lanky striker who is known by admirers as ''Simmy'' netted the first goal of the match for the strugglers, his fifth league goal of the season in fourteen appearances.

But the match proved far tighter than anticipated, as Simmy put the visitors ahead with 27 minutes gone, turning in Diogo Viana’s left-wing cross.

Evaldo doubled the away side's lead early in the second half, but Guimaraes' fightback started 11 minutes from time, Ricardo Valente finding the net.

And deep into stoppage-time, Andre converted a penalty to salvage a point for Rui Vitoria's side.
