A 24th-minute Marcio Madeira shot from distance proved enough for Portimão to secure all three points at home against Aves last Sunday afternoon. The 1-0 victory takes the Algarveans, who travel to Naval next weekend, into ninth and only six points off a promotion place.
One division below Faro took over at the top of the table with a 1-0 home success over 1ºDezembro. The newly promoted team from the Algarve’s capital will be hoping to maintain their unbeaten start to the season when taking on second-placed Mafra on Sunday week. Skip Bandele
