Decisive figure lifts Tondela at Estrela Amadora | OneFootball

Pedro Henryque settled the contest in the 75th minute with a right-footed strike from outside the box, as Tondela won 2-0 at Estrela Amadora.

The Brazilian's moment came from range, his shot arcing into the top right and giving Bernardo Caltabiano Parise Fontes breathing room behind a compact back five (75.). It was the game's clearest flash of quality.

He then continued to influence the final third, threading a pass that released Hugo Félix for a chance from distance (81.). That kept Estrela pinned back and prevented any late surge.

Henryque finished with three attempts, three key passes and 10 successful final third passes, plus two tackles and a clearance. The combination of end product and work rate underlined why he was the night's standout for the visitors.

Given space in wide areas to step inside onto his right foot, his movement repeatedly asked questions of Estrela's full-backs and ensured Tondela controlled the key phases after the restart.

Tondela climb from 17th to 16th in Liga Portugal and host Santa Clara next. Estrela Amadora visit AVS in their next league fixture.
