Chiquinho converted a penalty in the fifth minute of second half stoppage time to give Alverca a 1-0 win over Famalicão.
In the 73rd minute, Chiquinho won a free kick in his own half after coming on, helping Alverca regain territory.
He soon drew another foul high up the pitch (79.). Later, he was brought down on the left to win another set piece (86.). From a wide free kick, his right-footed effort flew over (87.).
The decisive award followed a handball by Leonardo Realpe in the third minute of second half stoppage time. He then struck his kick into the top left.
He finished with two attempts, one on target, three successful dribbles, six possessions won and three fouls drawn, underlining how his carrying and set piece threat lifted Alverca late on.
Alverca host Moreirense next. Famalicão visit Santa Clara.
