Match Report
Esgaio goal gives Arouca a third straight league win
Arouca beat Nacional 1-0 at home on Sunday in the tenth round of the Primeira Liga, and it was a third league win in a row for the hosts.
The only goal came in the 64th minute. Tiago Esgaio scored it, and one goal was enough to settle a game that stayed tight until then. The reports reviewed give no detail on red cards or penalties, and none are mentioned.
The win lifts Arouca to fourth in the table for now, on 20 points. That position is provisional, because Santa Clara and Académico de Viseu had not yet played their games in the round.
For Nacional it is a defeat on the road, and they leave Arouca without a point. The reports did not give their league position or points total.
