Nais Djouahra in action during Arouca vs Estoril match

Nais Djouahra delivered an influential performance to help FC Arouca secure a 3-2 victory over Estoril Praia in the Portuguese Liga.

The Algerian winger played a decisive role in the contest, contributing with an assist and consistently threatening in the attacking third as Arouca edged a closely fought encounter.

Djouahra’s impact was particularly evident around the equalising goal. Shortly after a missed opportunity by Ivan Barbero, who failed to convert a cross delivered by the winger, the pair combined again to better effect.

Just a minute later, Djouahra set up Barbero with a precise short pass following a well-worked three-man move, allowing his teammate to level the score at 1-1.

The 25-year-old’s contribution went beyond a single decisive moment, as he remained heavily involved throughout the match.

His attacking presence and ability to create openings proved valuable for Arouca, who ultimately secured all three points in a narrow win.

Reports from the game indicate that Djouahra was credited with multiple key contributions during the fixture, underlining his influence across the attacking phases.

His performance stood out in a match that required creativity and persistence to break down the opposition.

Estoril, who were without Rafik Guitane, were unable to contain Arouca’s attacking movement over the course of the game. Despite remaining competitive, they fell short as the hosts capitalised on their chances.

For Djouahra, the assist adds to his growing tally this season. Having already scored six goals, he continues to demonstrate his importance to Arouca’s attacking output.

The latest contribution marks his third assist of the league campaign, reinforcing a run of consistent performances.

As the season progresses, Djouahra’s form remains a key asset for Arouca, with his creativity and involvement continuing to shape the team’s results in the Portuguese Liga.
