Zach Muscat scored a crucial goal for Farense as they went on to beat league leaders Moreirense 3-1 in the Portuguese second-tier, on Friday.
The Malta international was in the starting formation for Farense as he was making his 19th appearance for the Portuguese club in all competitions this season.
Farense took the lead inside the first minute before Moreirense managed to level terms just before the half-time whistle.
After the change of ends, Farense scored twice including through Muscat who converted from point-blank range following a corner-kick situation.
This was Muscat’s second goal for Farense, his first in the league after opening his account for his team in the Portuguese cup.
Following this victory, Farense maintained their third place while kept their automatic promotion hopes alive with seven games left.
Their next match will be against Oliveirense who are eighth in the 18-team championship.
