It was the first goal of the new Primeira Liga campaign for the 33-year-old who found the back of the net on Monday after Rui Miguel hit the cross bar from his free-kick.
But though the result sees the side get off the mark in the league, it was marred by a 71st-minute sending off of Gregory Arnolin for a second bookable offence, and he will now miss the match against Maritimo on Saturday.
Vitoria had a chance to double their advantage soon after too, as Ricardo Dani stepped up to take a penalty for Jose Mota’s team, but the misjudged effort crashed into the post much to the relief of the home fans.
The second half, on the other hand, saw a significantly stronger Pacos team and after continuing to threaten as the minutes ticked by, they finally got off the mark in the final stages.
