Standout star powers Arouca past Estoril with decisive contributions | OneFootball

Barbero levelled in the 13th minute with a left-footed finish, setting Arouca on their way to a 3-2 win over Estoril. He then created the equaliser in the second minute of first half stoppage time.

Arriving between the centre-backs, he swept in from the centre of the box after Naïs Djouahra's cross (13.). He stayed busy before the interval, drawing a save with a header (20.) and nodding another chance wide (40.).

He turned provider in the second minute of first half stoppage time, his set-piece delivery headed in by José Fontán to restore parity before the break.

The forward finished with four attempts, two on target, and seven touches in the box, plus that assist — numbers that underlined how he led Arouca's attack.

With steady wide service and dead-ball moments aimed his way, his movement occupied Estoril's centre-backs and opened lanes for runners, keeping the visitors' defence on the back foot.

Arouca rise from 12th to 10th in Liga Portugal and visit Braga next. Estoril remain seventh and host Porto next.
