CS Maritimo claimed a 1–0 victory over Casa Pia in Liga Portugal Betclic, capitalising on clinical finishing despite controlling just 39 per cent possession. The hosts, deployed in a 4–2–3–1 formation, generated 1.28 xG from 16 shots and converted their sole chance, whilst their goalkeeper made a perfect 100 per cent save rate, shutting out all four attempts Casa Pia directed on target. Casa Pia dominated proceedings with 61 per cent possession and registered 0.64 xG, but their 4–3–3 setup failed to break through; their goalkeeper saved 75 per cent of shots faced, keeping the deficit narrow despite the hosts' efficiency. The visitors' xG underperformance—conceding 1.88 xG whilst allowing only one goal—suggests they defended relatively well, yet Maritimo's ruthlessness in transition proved decisive. Maritimo's counter-attacking approach proved more effective than Casa Pia's possession-based strategy.
