Decisive figure's header tilts it for Estrela Amadora

Jovane Borges settled the match in the 59th minute with a glancing header, as Estrela Amadora beat Santa Clara 1-0.

Meeting Jefferson Encada's teasing cross, Borges attacked the centre of the box and directed his header into the bottom corner, breaking a tight game open.

Before making way (69.), Borges kept Estrela high up the pitch with two successful dribbles and won the ball seven times, helping pin Santa Clara back after the restart.

The forward finished with three attempts, one on target, plus one key pass and three tackles, underlining how he influenced both penalty areas when it mattered.

The display helps Estrela Amadora climb from 14th to 11th. They visit Vitória S.C. next. Santa Clara host Benfica next.
