The Brazilian Evanilson, in his debut, saved Porto this Saturday after scoring the winning goal against Gil Vicente, a match that ended 1-0 in part also due to the lack of skill of the Colombian Matheus Uribe, who failed, to his surprise and that of the whole team, a penalty in favor of the dragons.
The duel was raised by Sergio Conceição in an unexpected way. He presented a system with three defenses and changed the schemes he showed with Manchester City, by leaving out Sarr, Sérgio Oliveira, Marega and the Colombian Luis Diaz (this one for physical reasons).
With those gaps, the coach allowed the entry of Manafá, Nakajima, Toni Martínez and Evanilson. He also gave special prominence to Uribe, a fixture of Queiroz in the Colombian National Team and one of the sure assets of the Blue and Whites this season. But this time the mistake was the protagonist.
After Evanilson’s goal in minute 42, Porto had another chance after seeing Ygor Nogueira a yellow for touching the ball with one arm. The Colombian missed the shot, and from there things got complicated for the local, who was left with ten in 75 with the expulsion of Zaidu, he saw the second yellow for a strong collision with Joel.
Porto thus adds a total of 10 points that leave him in second place, two points behind Benfica.
