Estoril beat Santa Clara 4-2 at the Estádio de São Miguel, rising from ninth to eighth in Liga Portugal.

Diogo Cabral halved the deficit with a close-range header from a Serginho corner (52.). Gabriel Silva levelled with a low strike from outside the box, and VAR confirmed the goal (65.).

Rafik Guitane restored the lead with a precise left-footed finish into the top left, set up by Ricard Sánchez (74.). A handball by Henrique Silva brought a late penalty. VAR confirmed the spot kick and Begraoui converted again (88.). Begraoui now has 15 Liga Portugal goals, third in the scoring chart.

In second half stoppage time, Joel Robles denied Gonçalo Paciência from close range to seal the points.
