Tiago Gouveia scored the third goal in Benfica's 6-1 win over Vizela on matchday 22 of the Liga Betclic, and spoke of a "fantastic display". 

Roger Schmidt's choice in the starting XI, Tiago Gouveia gave his analysis of the match: "It was a game with two distinct parts," he began.

The attacking midfielder then explained: "In the first half we had total control of the game, we managed to score a lot of goals, a fantastic display. The second wasn't as successful, also due to Vizela, who managed to make it very difficult for us in our first phase of pressure, they put a lot of people in the middle, it was harder to press and consequently have more of the ball."
