PivotalOutstanding performance

Academico Viseu arrived at Marítimo and dominated the first half with clinical efficiency, converting their chances through André Clóvis and Soufiane Messeguem to lead 2-0 at the break. The visitors were the sharper side in the opening 45 minutes, creating four big chances to Marítimo's one and forcing the home goalkeeper into five saves across the entire contest. Marítimo's response after the interval was characterised by urgency and tactical changes — five substitutions in quick succession reshuffled the hosts, and Paulo Henrique pulled one back at the 70th minute to give the Madeira side belief. The comeback was completed in the 88th minute when Adrián Butzke Benavides converted from the spot, salvaging a point that Marítimo's dangerous attack statistics — 50 to Viseu's 29 — suggested they perhaps deserved over the full 90. For Academico Viseu, surrendering a two-goal lead so late will sting, particularly given they managed seven shots on target and looked the more composed side for large stretches of the match.
