In this tightly contested Liga Portugal 2 match, CD Tondela narrowly defeated Leixoes SC with a crucial early goal. The decisive moment came just over six minutes into the match, as Tondela capitalized on early momentum to score the game's only goal. Despite an evenly matched performance, Leixoes SC failed to convert their opportunities into goals, exemplified by their inability to leverage their five corner kicks as compared to Tondela's eight.

When assessing the teams' discipline and defensive metrics, both outfits displayed aggressive play with a notable frequency of fouls. Leixoes SC accumulated four yellow cards, indicative of their more aggressive tackling and defensive strategy, compared to Tondela's three. This aggressive approach may have disrupted their flow and impacted their ability to maintain composed control in critical moments.

Notably, Tondela's ability to manage defensive pressure without falling into offside traps consistently allowed them to maintain offensive pressure. While Tondela only registered one offside, Leixoes SC remained disciplined with zero offsides, still missing key attacking opportunities. The match's outcome was significantly influenced by Tondela's effective early goal and their capacity to disrupt Leixoes' strategies without conceding major fouls or cards in decisive defensive situations.
