Miguel Puche headed the winner in the 67th minute, giving Arouca a 1-0 win at Moreirense.

Introduced early in the second half, Puche immediately added thrust. He slipped Naïs Djouahra in for a blocked effort, then peeled free to glance a close-range header into the roof of the net (67.).

He continued to stretch Moreirense by running the last line and was flagged offside (80.). He then drew a free kick high up the pitch to help manage territory (88.).

The forward finished with one attempt and one goal, completed all four of his passes, and won two tackles. He also regained possession four times and won an aerial duel, underscoring his impact at both ends.

With Arouca attempting 24 crosses, his penalty-area movement offered a clear target and kept the home defence uncomfortable in key moments.

Arouca climb from 13th to 10th in the table. They host Estoril next. Moreirense welcome Braga.
