Match in Five Sentences: Tondela and AVS drew 0-0 at the Estádio João Cardoso. In the 37th minute, Rodrigo Conceição tested Adriel from range, the goalkeeper holding in the centre.

Cristiano Bacci's side had 59.5% possession and 13 attempts to nine, yet found only three efforts on target. Tondela stay 17th and visit Vitória S.C. next, while AVS remain 18th and go to Gil Vicente.

Three Things We Learned: Crossing was a key route for the hosts, who sent in 30 deliveries at 23.3% accuracy. AVS cleared their lines 40 times and won 55.8% of aerial duels, reflecting a defence-first display. Despite leading the shot count 13–9, Tondela hit the woodwork twice and forced only three saves.
