Santa Clara wins on Arouca's home ground

RTP Notícias13 September 2026 at 16:15

Santa Clara defeated Arouca 2-1 on Sunday in a match from the sixth round of the Portuguese I Liga football championship. The result allowed the visiting team to earn three important points in the championship standings.

With this victory, Santa Clara provisionally climbed to third place in the standings, accumulating 14 points after six matches played. The Azorean club demonstrated the ability to win away from home.

Arouca, for their part, failed to impose their game on their own ground and suffered another defeat in this early stage of the season. The result kept the home team in a lower position in the standings.

The match was part of the regular schedule of the Portuguese I Liga football championship, one of the main football leagues in Portugal that brings together the country's best teams in competition throughout the season.

Why this matters

This victory allows Santa Clara to consolidate their position among the leaders of the Portuguese championship, also benefiting from Sporting's defeat in the same round. For Azorean fans, this result represents a moment of pride, given that the club from the Azores surpasses traditional teams of the Portuguese first division.
