PivotalOutstanding performance

Estoril dominated the possession and shot count but had little to show for it until Ricard Sánchez finally broke the deadlock in the 70th minute, only for Casa Pia to level within two minutes through Selvi Clua. Casa Pia's bench made the difference, with substitutes Pauwels and Dafé combining to snatch victory in the closing stages, Dafé rattling the woodwork before Pauwels fired home the winner in the 89th minute. Despite trailing Estoril in shots and possession, Casa Pia were far more clinical on the counter, racking up five counter-attacks and five saves to Estoril's zero. For Estoril, sitting deep in a relegation battle, this will sting badly given the balance of play, while Casa Pia's resilience and late punch offer real encouragement for their own survival push.
How entertaining was this match?
Estoril and Casa Pia meet at the bottom of the table in a genuine relegation six-pointer, with both sides still searching for their first win of the season. Estoril's slight home advantage and better recent draws give them the edge, but Casa Pia's desperation for any result makes this anyone's game.
