Motivated by winning the League Cup in the Minho derby against Braga, the conquerors came with everything, helped by the large human frame on the stand, but were ineffective in opening the scoreboard. The Dragons tried to resist the offensive momentum of the home team and only took a breather with the penalty awarded in the 25th minute.
Alberto Costa launched himself down the right wing and ended up being brought down by Lebedenko at the edge of the penalty area, in a move that prompted many protests from the Victorian bench. However, the Spanish Samu wasted the advantage by placing the ball too much, hitting the bar.
The game continued with a very offensive tone, with several goal opportunities, always with the most dangerous ones being on the home side. But it was the blue and white team who opened the scoring, with another penalty, this time after a VAR review, which saw young reinforcement Pietuszewski fall, with Alan Varela deceiving Castillo and scoring the first of the game.
Guimarães’ team tried to respond to the disadvantage, looking for points in the match, but Farioli launched Bednarek from the bench who closed the Porto goal.
With this victory, FC Porto remains isolated at the top of the national championship, with 52 points, with V. Guimarães falling to eighth, with 25.
