A late, late goal from Pires in the third minute of injury time handed Portimonense victory over Freamunde and the outright Liga de Honra leadership.
The current two-point advantage enjoyed by the west Algarve team could have been cut back by Gil Vicente on Monday, but a draw with Aves leaves them trailing joint second placed Feirense and Santa Clara by a single counter. Portimao will next be in league action on October 24 at lowly Penafiel hoping to increase their current advantage.
