Defender Filipe Ferreira got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 8.01/10. Ferreira hit one key pass and won 5 of 7 duels.

Ferreira might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match.

Maracás won 7 of 10 duels.

A draw for Paços de Ferreira before that, at their own venue hosting Maritimo (1-1).
