Decisive figure settles it for Vitória S.C. against Estrela Amadora | OneFootball

Diogo Sousa settled the game in the 68th minute with a composed finish, as Vitória S.C. beat Estrela Amadora 2-1. The midfielder's winner capped an all-action display in and out of possession.

He ghosted into the box to meet João Mendes' driven cross and swept low into the bottom right (68.). The strike flipped the flow after the restart and gave the hosts control.

From there Sousa managed the tempo. He completed 50 of 62 passes, won possession three times and made two interceptions, ensuring Vitória S.C. stayed on the front foot through midfield.

His attacking presence mattered too. He had six touches in the area and turned his only attempt into the decisive goal, timing his run perfectly to exploit the delivery.

Vitória S.C.'s high crossing volume created the platform, and Sousa's late box arrival punished the space as Estrela's back line narrowed to defend the flanks.

Vitória S.C. rise from ninth to seventh and visit Braga next. Estrela Amadora remain 11th and host Tondela next.
