Decisive figure sets Tondela on their way with early finish | OneFootball

Makan Aïko struck in the 18th minute to set Tondela on course, as they beat Moreirense 2-0.

He ghosted into the six-yard box to turn in a low cross (18.). The forward's movement across the front line kept defenders guessing and established the platform for the hosts.

Aïko stayed busy, seeing a shot blocked soon after (21.). He then created a clear opening with a neat lay-off that led to the right post being struck (37.), before testing the goalkeeper with another effort (51.).

He finished with three attempts, two on target, plus two successful dribbles and five touches in the box, underlining a mix of penalty area presence and direct carrying that pinned Moreirense back.

That blend of penalty box instincts and ball-carrying threat repeatedly stretched the visitors, giving Tondela control of the game's key moments.

Tondela visit Arouca next. Moreirense host AVS next.
