Match in Five Sentences: Famalicão beat AVS 3-1 in Liga Portugal. Diego Duarte put the visitors ahead in the 50th minute, finishing Tomane's through ball into the top corner. Justin De Haas levelled (54.), Antoine Joujou completed the turnaround (63.), then Umar Abubakar's close-range finish stood after a VAR review (67.). The hosts controlled proceedings with 65.9% possession and six shots on target. The result lifts them from eighth to sixth, with a trip to Sporting CP next, while AVS host Estoril.
Player of the Match: Antoine Joujou came on at half-time to set up the equaliser and score the second, adding two key passes and 16 accurate passes in 45 minutes.
Stat of the Match: Pedro Miguel Costa Santos delivered two assists and made four key passes, a creative haul that broke AVS open.
Three Things We Learned: Famalicão posted 86.2% pass accuracy from 500 passes, reflecting control after falling behind. AVS mustered only one shot on target from seven attempts, showing a lack of cutting edge. Joujou's 45-minute cameo produced a goal, an assist and two successful dribbles, underlining the bench impact.
