In the 2009–10 season , 19-year-old Ismaily moved to Portugal, signing for G.D. Estoril-Praia in the Segunda Liga and playing all the games but one (always as a starter) to help to an 11th-place finish. His first goal for his new club occurred on 8 November 2009, in a 2–0 home win over Gil Vicente FC .[9]
Ismaily stayed in the country in summer 2010, joining Primeira Liga side S.C. Olhanense .[10] He appeared in 25 matches in his second year , scoring in a 3–2 away defeat of Vitória F.C. to help complete a comeback from 2–0.[11]
