On Thursday evening, Vitinha escaped Hypnos’ grasp. Established by Gennaro Gattuso to challenge AEK Athens at the Vélodrome (3-1), the former Braga striker finally offered a European insight into the qualities that motivated his arrival. First, by perfectly offloading the marking to clear a cross from Jonathan Clauss and open the scoring. Then, by going to cause a penalty and the expulsion of AEK goalkeeper Cican Stankovic, whom he had just dribbled into the area. A full match then.
