The new Primeira Liga season began with a Greek touch as Giorgos Koutsias scored the competition’s first goal of the campaign for Famalicão in their 1-1 away draw against Estoril.
The 23-year-old Greek striker opened the scoring in the 32nd minute, converting after an assist from former Olympiacos player Gil Dias.
Estoril eventually levelled the match in the 72nd minute, with Begraoui finding the net to secure a point for the hosts.
