Casa Pia fell to Morayense 0-1 in the fourth round of the Primeira Liga at the Estádio Municipal de Rio Maior on Sunday. The visitors claimed their first point of the season with a solitary goal, while the hosts remain winless after three matches.
Kiko opened the scoring in the twenty-fourth minute, a moment that shifted the match entirely. By then Casa Pia had been dominating possession but struggling to break down a disciplined defensive block. The goal came from a well-worked move that exploited the space behind their high line.
The statistics tell an unbalanced story. Casa Pia controlled 63 per cent of the ball and launched 149 attacks, yet managed just two shots on target. Morayense, with only 37 per cent possession, produced five shots on target and created two big chances. It is the kind of performance where the better side gives away too many cheap fouls and pays for it.
Yellow cards accumulated as the match grew tense. P. Rosas and Kiko both received cautions around the sixty-minute mark, while Rodri and Aranha joined them later. The referee had his hands full with a game that never quite settled into a rhythm.
Substitutions began in earnest after half-time, with Morayense bringing on Rochinha in the forty-sixth minute. Casa Pia made multiple changes around the seventy-eighth minute, bringing on S. Clua, M. Mendonca, J. Rego and A. Jatta in quick succession. They looked to change the game but could not find the equaliser.
The result leaves Casa Pia bottom of the table with zero points from three defeats, including that 0-7 hammering by Benfica. Morayense move up to seventeenth with a single point from two matches, having drawn with Braga and lost to Aruka.
