Belenenses hold on to see off Tondela in Primeira Liga

Belenenses have beaten Tondela 2-1 at the Estadio do Restelo to climb up to 10th place in the Primeira Liga table.

Tiago Silva found a way through for the opener 20 minutes in, getting the better of Claudio Ramos to give his side an advantage that they would not relinquish.

It looked to be curtains for Rui Bento's men when Tiago Caeiro doubled Belenenses' lead in the final quarter of the game, but Cristian Amado temporarily restored some hope for the division's basement boys.

There was to be no late comeback, however, meaning that Tondela remain with just the one league win to their name so far this season and drop to the foot of the table as a result.

O Belem, who have struggled for consistency so far this season, face Sporting Lisbon in their next league outing at the end of the month.
