Unseen hero sparks late rescue at Casa Pia

Guilherme Neiva changed the tie in the 72nd minute by winning a penalty, launching AVS's comeback to draw 3-3 at Casa Pia.

Introduced off the bench, the Brazilian forward drove into the box to earn the award (72.). The spot kick was converted (75.), setting up a frantic finale.

He then arrived at the back post in the ninth minute of second half stoppage time to sweep in from close range after Pedro Lima's headed pass. It was his first goal for the club.

Neiva's cameo carried weight beyond the goals. He produced two shots on target, completed two successful dribbles and won five possessions in 22 minutes, plus four touches in the box – direct, repeated actions that kept Casa Pia pinned back.

The display underlines his importance for AVS ahead of hosting Braga next. Casa Pia, meanwhile, welcome Porto in their next league fixture.
