Tondela had a great campaign in the first half of the LIGA NOS, but lost performance in the second part, so it reaches this 25th day of the championship in the fourteenth position in the leaderboard. Even so, the 25 points he added leave the team trained by the Spanish Natxo González with a nine-point advantage over the relegation zone, whose first position is occupied by Portimonense. Without winning five consecutive games, the team tied, on the last day, in the reception to Boavista (1-1), thus breaking a sequence of three consecutive defeats, against Santa Clara (0-1), Rio Ave (1- 2) and Vitória de Guimarães (0-2). The bad moment that Tondela was going through is also reflected in the fact that he has only won one of the last 11 games.
