Estoril and Arouca played out a 0-0 draw in the Primeira Liga at Estádio António Coimbra da Mota, with neither team able to break a goalless stalemate.

Match Summary

The match stayed 0-0 from start to finish. Arouca had more of the ball, while Estoril created the greater volume of shots and corners. The first half produced no goal. Antef Tsoungui was booked in the 30th minute, and Francisco Reis Ferreira received a yellow as the interval arrived.

The second half followed the same scoreless path. Jordan Arnolin was cautioned in the 71st minute and João Carvalho a minute later. Brian Mansilla took Arouca's only yellow in the 86th minute. F. Verissimo showed no red cards, and the official result remained 0-0.

Key Moments

Estoril's shot volume never became a lead. Eight attempts on target and eight corners still left the hosts without a goal, so Arouca never had to chase the game.

Two home yellow cards in consecutive minutes after the 70th minute left Estoril collecting cautions while the score was still blank. That sequence did not produce a sending-off, but it was the clearest change of temperature in a goalless contest.

Arouca's 53 percent possession helped keep the contest even. Twelve shots with only two on target explained why that control did not become a winner.
