Decisive figure's late header delivers for Famalicão against Alverca | OneFootball

Umar Abubakar decided the game in the 83rd minute with a glancing header, giving Famalicão a 1-0 win over Alverca.

Meeting Rafa's cross, the Nigerian forward guided his header into the bottom left (83.). The movement across the centre-backs created separation and turned a floated delivery into the decisive chance.

He nearly added another late on, dragging a right-footed effort wide from the centre of the box (89.).

Abubakar finished with three attempts, one on target, and four touches in the box. He also won possession once high up the pitch, underlining a direct, penalty-area focused cameo that shifted the contest.

With his penalty-area instincts troubling Alverca's back three, his runs towards the near-post channel gave Famalicão a clear outlet once the game stretched.

Famalicão finish fifth on 56 points. Alverca are 11th on 39.
