Decisive figure turns it for Casa Pia against Arouca | OneFootball

Cassiano converted a penalty in the 45th minute to seal Casa Pia's 3-2 victory over Arouca.

He had already tilted the game earlier, arriving in the centre to finish a fast break from Jeremy Livolant's pass (25.). The movement into the box gave Casa Pia a direct outlet whenever space opened up in transition.

On the stroke of half time he stepped up again from the spot after VAR confirmed the penalty, striking low into the bottom left to restore the lead. From there, his hold-up play helped the hosts manage territory.

He finished with two attempts, both on target, and four touches in the box. Six successful passes in the final third and three aerial wins underlined how he connected play and relieved pressure for long spells with only 30.9% possession.

The Brazilian's brace lifts Casa Pia from 15th to 13th in Liga Portugal. Casa Pia visit Famalicão next. Arouca host Nacional.
