Marítimo drew with Chaves in Madeira. Martim Tavares scored for the islanders, but an own goal from Rodrigo Borges in stoppage time ensured a draw for the visitors.
At the Estádio dos Barreiros, Marítimo let victory slip away against Chaves in a dramatic and bitter draw. Martim Tavares, who came on from the bench, seemed to have secured three points for the islanders with a header in the 57th minute, but fate was cruel for the home team. An own goal by Rodrigo Borges, in stoppage time, nullified the Madeira advantage and resulted in a points share.
Marítimo entered the field motivated by a good run of results, with a home draw against Tondela (2-2) and an away win against Paços de Ferreira (2-1). On the other hand, Chaves came into this match still searching for their first victory after a defeat against Académico de Viseu (2-1) and a home draw against Leixões (0-0).
Marítimo started better, with Fransergio threatening the goal in the 17th minute, but the attempt ended in the side netting. The islanders, although supported by fervent fans, struggled to impose their fluid game, while the visitors displayed more cohesion and security in their ball circulation.
The second half brought more intensity to the game. In the 54th minute, Martim Tavares, who had come on shortly before, headed against the crossbar, leaving the fans in suspense. But three minutes later, the same Tavares did not miss, taking advantage of a perfect cross from Francisco França to open the scoring. From then on, Marítimo even created more opportunities but failed to extend their lead.
In the final minutes, Chaves began to press and nearly equalized with a cross from Ktatau that Tabuaço deflected onto the crossbar. The visitors’ reward came in stoppage time when Rodrigo Borges, in an attempt to clear the ball before it reached Bruno Rodrigues, ended up putting it in his own net, much to the despair of the Madeira fans.
