AI-assisted match report written from official match data.
Georgios Koutsias opened the scoring in the seventh minute, converting from a Sorriso assist, before Sorriso himself struck six minutes later to make it 0-2. Koutsias completed his brace in the 40th minute, teed up by Mathias De Amorim, and the visitors went in at the break already 0-3 to the good. Sorriso added a second of his own in the 67th minute, again assisted by De Amorim, to make it 0-4.
Nacional's afternoon worsened further in the 77th minute when Matheus Dias was sent off, leaving Alexandre Santos's side to play out the remainder a man down. Despite having 55 percent of the possession and matching Famalicao's 12 shots, Nacional managed only three on target compared to their opponents' seven, a gulf that reflected how one-sided the game became after halftime.
Sorriso scored twice and set up Koutsias's opener, finishing with a rating of 9.81 to lead all performers on the pitch.
Famalicao were far more clinical in front of goal, landing seven shots on target to Nacional's three despite facing an equal number of total attempts.

Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Nacional 23%, the draw 27%, Famalicao 50%. It finished Nacional 0–4 Famalicao.
Famalicao's rating gap, but the draw is in play — Famalicao are clearly the stronger side on our strength rating, and that is most of Famalicao's 50%. The draw at 27% is lifted by a low-scoring environment.
Why Famalicao at 50%?
Famalicao sit 220 points higher on our strength rating — 1469 to 1689. Sides with a 200–300-point rating edge on the road won 52.0% of 6,097 such games. The 300 most similar past games finished 27–26–47.
Why only 50%?
No scored evidence points the other way. 50% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 27% and Nacional at 23%.
Why is the draw second, ahead of the Nacional win?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 24.0%. These teams' recent games average 2.2 goals — a low-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 28.1% of 18,221. The goals environment adds 3.1 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Nacional come into this after a busy window — 15 arrivals and 11 departures over the summer. Squad turnover reads dramatic but hasn't moved results once the rating is controlled: the busiest windows landed within noise across 5,368 games, rebuilt elevens likewise across 5,446, and even losing the most regular starters showed nothing (5,336). Nacional are 1 game into a new manager (Alexandre Santos), appointed 7 days ago. The famous new-manager bounce doesn't survive its receipt: sides with a new manager beat their rating by 0.9 points over 33,420 games — but sides on an equally bad run who kept their manager beat it by 2.4 over 31,777. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
