Ghanaian midfielder Lawrence Ofori opened his scoring account in the Liga Portugal with a brilliant strike on Friday evening.
Ofori scored the only goal of the game as Moreirense beat Vizela to maintain their sixth position on the league table.
The 25-year-old was named in the starting lineup for a league game for the 27th time this season following the team's promotion to the top flight.
Despite seeing less of the ball, Moreirense, who played as the home team, created the best chances of the half.
The breakthrough came in the 23rd minute with Ofori receiving the ball a few meters ahead of the centre circle before firing a powerful drive which beat everyone and found itself at the back of the net.
What a way to score your first goal of the season!

The home side went into the break with the 1-0 goal lead but could have had more in the opening half.
The second half was no different in terms of possession but Vizela barely threatened the Moreirense goalkeeper.
While the away side did very little with the ball, Moreirense also protected their lead and held on to seal all three points.
Ofori came off in the 80th minute of the fixture.
The win sees them stay 6th on the league table with six games left to play.
