Two goals in two minutes paved the way for the Geese's triumph

Casa Pia AC kicked off Matchday 15 of Liga Portugal Betclic with a victory, defeating FC Arouca 3-1 and securing their second consecutive win in the competition.

The first goal came from Livolant's left foot. The French forward found himself one-on-one with the opposing goalkeeper after a brilliant through ball from Nuno Moreira that split the defense. Livolant chipped the ball over Mantl, making it 1-0.

Just a minute later, Nuno Moreira shone again, stealing the ball from Tiago Esgaio and delivering a pinpoint cross for Lelo, who scored his first goal of the season, doubling the lead to 2-0.

In the second half, Arouca narrowed the deficit through Trezza. Jason combined with the Italian forward, who fired a left-footed, low-driven shot across the goal to make it 2-1.

With just two minutes left before full time, a corner taken by Lelo found the heart of the penalty area, where Obeng rose highest to head the ball into the net, sealing the 3-1 victory.

The "Gansos" now have 20 points, moving level with Moreirense FC in seventh place, while Arouca remains in the relegation zone with 11 points.
