Early Breakthrough Sets Tone
Famalicao started assertively, and it paid off when De Amorim found the net in the 31st minute. The goal was a result of slick interplay, with De Amorim finishing clinically. Tondela struggled to find their rhythm, managing only two shots throughout the game, reflecting their difficulties in penetrating a solid Famalicao defense.

The home side's control was evident, with 61% ball possession and a series of well-constructed attacking moves. P. Santos capped the performance with a third goal in the 81st minute, as Famalicao’s precise passing, marked by an 85% accuracy rate, dismantled Tondela's defense.
Statistics Reflect Famalicao's Dominance

Future Prospects
Famalicao’s form in the last five matches has been inconsistent, highlighted by two standout victories against Estoril and Vitoria Guimaraes. This win marks a potential turning point as they aim to climb the Primeira Liga standings. Tondela, on the other hand, will need to regroup and address their shortcomings, particularly in attack, as they seek to improve their position in the league.
