Separated by seven points at the start of the day, FC Porto B and Vizela met on Sunday morning, in Vila Nova de Gaia, with different ambitions. The young dragons sought to get closer to the middle zone of the table, while the Minho teams tried to shorten the distance to the first placed teams, Marítimo and Académico de Viseu, who had already lost points in this round.
The first threat came from the Porto side, in the 10th minute, when Gonçalo Sousa crossed accurately for Vonic, but his header went over the top. The response was immediate: Loppy appeared isolated, in the 11th minute, after a pass from Moha, but allowed a save from Gonçalo Ribeiro, who would shine again in the 19th minute to deny Kitala the goal.
Vizela grew and, in the 22nd minute, came very close to scoring, when Morschel discovered Jojó in the area, but the Cape Verdean shot high, wasting a clear opportunity. Despite the visiting team’s ascendancy, the score remained zero until half-time.
In the second half, the Porto players balanced and created danger in the 56th minute, with João Teixeira forcing Gomis into a good intervention. The goal would end up coming in the 76th minute, following a set piece and a lot of insistence from Porto: after a shot from Felipe Silva, André Oliveira appeared opportunely and, with the help of a defensive deflection, made it 1-0.
Until the end, FC Porto B held the advantage and secured three important points. Vizela fails to reach the top and remains in fourth place, with 28 points, while the Dragons are breathing easier and climb to 12th place, now with 24 points.
