Ramírez header sparks Nacional rise to 13th

Tondela's night worsened when Brayan Medina turned into his own net (31.), giving Nacional a cushion they protected after the break.

Kaíque was busy as the hosts pressed, making five saves to preserve the clean sheet, including late stops as crosses rained in.

First half injuries forced changes on both sides, with Gabriel Veron and Rodrigo Conceição withdrawn, and the rhythm broke up with several treatment stoppages.

Tondela saw plenty of the ball, finishing with 62% possession and 22 attempts. Nacional were resolute, racking up 47 clearances as they defended their penalty area.

Tondela remain 17th. Next, Tondela visit Sporting CP. Nacional host AVS next.
