Stefan Lekovic’s Brace Secures Estrela da Amadora Survival

Estrela da Amadora have secured their place in the Liga Portugal Betclic for the upcoming season. The club clinched direct survival after a 2-1 victory that featured a double from centre‑back Stefan Lekovic. The win came after the team appeared to be heading for a playoff spot following Pau Victor’s goal that put them behind. The tricolour side responded in time to avoid the relegation battle. Lekovic’s two goals were described as an unlikely brace, especially given his defensive position. The centre‑back’s contribution proved decisive in the final minutes of the match. Lekovic previously featured for Villarreal in Spain and has also played in Italy’s Serie A, adding experience from top European leagues to the Portuguese side. The victory lifts Estrela da Amadora out of the relegation zone and guarantees their participation in the top flight for the next campaign. The club now looks ahead to the new season, aiming to build on the hard‑won survival and improve their standing in the league.
