3 – 1
“Romain Correia heads home from a corner to give Marítimo hope, cutting the deficit to 2-1 after a foul on Israel Ayuma set up the delivery.”
“Alexandre Parsemain converts a penalty to restore Moreirense's two-goal cushion and effectively end Marítimo's comeback hopes.”
PivotalOutstanding performance

Moreirense stunned Marítimo with a ruthlessly efficient opening act, scoring twice inside the first half hour despite being outplayed statistically - Marítimo finished with 62% possession and nearly double the dangerous attacks. Manuel Mendonça opened the scoring from a corner routine before Leonardo Vonić doubled the lead following a scrambled sequence involving a Marítimo handball, and the hosts made every one of their limited chances count, converting two of just five shots on target in the first half. Marítimo pushed hard after the break, dominating the ball and eventually pulling one back through Romain Correia's header in the 79th minute, but a flurry of substitutions couldn't find an equalizer, and Alexandre Parsemain's stoppage-adjacent penalty in the 86th minute sealed the win for Moreirense. For Marítimo, this result will sting given their territorial dominance and near-perfect pass accuracy compared to Moreirense's directness, while Moreirense's clinical edge continues to punch above their underlying numbers.
How entertaining was this match?
Moreirense and Marítimo both arrive licking their wounds after heavy defeats to Benfica, making this a crucial low-stakes clash for confidence and points in the lower half of the table. With Moreirense missing a key suspended midfielder, Marítimo's better recent form gives them a slight edge heading into Monday night's fixture.
