GD Estoril Praia vs FC Arouca

Estoril and Arouca played out a frustrating 0-0 stalemate at the Estádio António Coimbra da Mota, in a match disrupted by strong winds that made clean football difficult, especially in the first half. The home side pushed hardest for a winner and piled up the bulk of the shot attempts, but couldn't find a way through. The closest either side came was via the woodwork. João Carvalho rattled the post with a strike that had Arouca's goal shaking, while late on Sierra saw his effort turned onto the frame by Arouca goalkeeper Ignacio Arruabarrena, who was the standout performer keeping the scoreline blank. The point suits Arouca far more, leaving them fifth on 10 points and level with Benfica, a tidy result for boss Vasco Seabra against a former club. Estoril remain mired in the relegation zone on just two points, only their second draw after three defeats, still searching for their first win of the campaign.
