The match between CD Nacional Madeira and Estrela Amadora on April 6, 2025, was a tightly contested affair, ultimately decided by a solitary goal from the visiting team. Estrela Amadora’s disciplined defensive structure played a pivotal role as they managed to withstand CD Nacional's offensive efforts, highlighted by the home team's seven corner kicks. However, the effectiveness of these set pieces was underwhelming, partially hindered by Estrela Amadora's solid defensive organization and goalkeeper's performance in maintaining a clean sheet.

Despite the possession and pressure suggested by seven corners, CD Nacional Madeira's inability to convert chances into goals was evident. They were caught offside three times, indicating misalignment in their attacking movements, which stunted their fluency in the attacking third. In contrast, Estrela Amadora’s single offside occurrence reflected a more streamlined offensive approach, contributing to their efficiency when hitting the home team on the break.

Both teams displayed a fair degree of physicality, with Estrela Amadora committing slightly more fouls (8) than CD Nacional (5), leading to a couple of yellow cards for the away side. Despite this aggression, Estrela Amadora managed to keep their discipline tight enough to avoid any red cards. This factor was crucial in maintaining their numerical advantage throughout the match, which allowed them to implement strategic substitutions to preserve their lead, as reflected in the second-half yellow card count. Ultimately, Estrela's ability to capitalize on CD Nacional's defensive lapse for their goal and maintain defensive resilience was the key determinant in their narrow victory.
