On Sunday Apr 3rd, in week 28, Marítimo will play host to Tondela in a clash of these two mismatched Primeira Liga teams.

Joel Tagueu struck first for Marítimo in the 39th minute, then Samuel Lino tied it up for Gil Vicente in the 5th minute of the first half’s stoppage time squeezing out at least the one point for Gil Vicente. Marítimo is looking for direction having 3 win and 3 losses in their last 10 matches, while 16th placed Tondela is fresh off their 2-2 draw against Arouca. Oliveira Silva scored the first goal for Arouca in the 4th minute, but Eduardo Quaresma got the equalizer for Tondela in the 16th minute .
