Match report

Pênafiel secured a crucial 4-1 win over Académica in the fifth round of Liga Portugal 2 on Saturday at Estádio Municipal 25 de Abril. The result moves the hosts to 10 points in second place, while Académica remain seventh with nine points after their fifth match. Pedro Sá gave Pênafiel an early lead in the 36th minute, but Antonio David Álvarez Rey equalised four minutes later to make it 1-1 before half-time. And here's the thing about the 45+5th minute — Pedro Sá's red card changed everything, leaving the hosts to defend with ten men for the second half. By then, João Pinto restored Pênafiel's advantage with a goal in the 57th minute. Max Svensson doubled the margin in the 71st minute before Leandro Silva pulled one back for Académica in the 90+2nd minute. The statistics tell an interesting story — Académica registered 118 attacks compared to Pênafiel's 97, and took seven shots on target to the hosts' four. Yet Pênafiel's 55% possession and clinical finishing proved decisive. The victory extends Pênafiel's strong start to the season, while Académica's two defeats in five matches keep them outside the automatic promotion places. Both teams have now completed their fifth league fixtures. **Final Result: Pênafiel 4-1 Académica** **Competition: Liga Portugal 2 — Round 5** **Date: September 5, 2026** **Venue: Estádio Municipal 25 de Abril** --- **Key Statistics:** - **Possession:** Pênafiel 55% — Académica 45% - **Shots on target:** Pênafiel 4 — Académica 7 - **Shots off target:** Pênafiel 4 — Académica 9 - **Corners:** Pênafiel 2 — Académica 4 - **Attacks:** Pênafiel 97 — Académica 118 **Table Positions:** - **Pênafiel:** 2nd place, 10 points (3W, 1D, 1L) - **Académica:** 7th place, 9 points (3W, 0D, 2L)
