Alverca
Santa Clara
Alverca controlled the tempo for large stretches, racking up more dangerous attacks and a healthy corner count, but Santa Clara's superior shot volume - 15 to Alverca's 5 - eventually told. Vivaldo Semedo broke the deadlock in the 69th minute after a frantic wave of substitutions reshaped both sides, and it looked like Santa Clara's away trip would end in defeat despite their attacking numbers. Brenner, thrown on just six minutes before the goal against his side, turned the game on its head with an 87th-minute leveler that snatched a point from what seemed a lost cause. The result keeps both clubs in the thick of their respective battles, with tempers flaring in stoppage time as Brenner and Figueiredo picked up bookings in a tetchy finish.
