Portimonense said goodbye to the 2017/2018 season, and Captain Ricardo Pessoa, with a 3-1 victory against Paços de Ferreira. Pires was the man of the game, scoring two of the goals of the Algarve team.
Although Paços de Ferreira need to win to guarantee their permanence in the Primeira Liga, Portimonense scored first in the 28th minute through Pires. Nakajima assisted the striker in the area, he spun and shot with his right foot to the goal. Referee Tiago Martins also consulted the VAR, but ended up validating the Algarve goal.
In the second half, despite Paços de Ferreira having a good opportunity, on 57 minutes, wasted by Pedrinho, and Leonardo also having shone, on 66 minutes, by defending André Leão's header, it was Portimonense who showed greater effectiveness , making it 2-0 in the 77th minute.
On a counterattack, Nakajima shot for Defendi's incomplete defense and, on the reload, Pires didn't forgive, scoring twice in the match.
Paços even reduced in the 88th minute through a strong shot by Rúben Micael, after assisting Bruno Moreira, but the beavers' hopes of staying in the Primeira Liga disappeared in added time when Wellington, who had entered the game during the match, made the 3-1 for the Portimonense team.
The Algarve finished the championship in 10th place, with 38 points, while Paços de Ferreira did not avoid the descent, finishing in 17th place in the classification. Estoril is the other team that descends to the II League.
