The decisive moment arrived in the 51st minute when Famalicão were awarded a penalty. Justin de Haas stepped up and converted from the spot to give the visitors a 1–0 lead. It was the only goal of the match and ultimately enough to secure all three points.

Famalicão picked up another booking in the 56th minute, with Mathias De Amorin shown a yellow card. Estoril’s task became significantly harder in the 67th minute when Ian Cathro was sent off, leaving the home side down to 10 men for the final stretch.

Both managers turned to their benches late on. Estoril introduced Gonçalo Costa for Pedro Amaral in the 76th minute, and Alejandro Marqués for Ferro in the 88th minute in search of an equaliser. Famalicão responded with a series of substitutions to protect their narrow advantage, including Marcos Peña for De Amorin (83′), and late changes bringing on Leonardo Realpe, Umar Abubakar and Gustavo Garcia in the closing minutes.

Without full statistical data, it is not possible to assess possession or chances created, but the available information underlines a disciplined away performance from Famalicão and a frustrating afternoon for Estoril, whose red card and conceded penalty proved decisive.
