Fhi night of records at Estádio do Dragão. FC Porto took a while to reach the goals, but ended up scoring, on Saturday night, against Estoril Praia, 4-0, in a game that was valid for the tenth round of the I League.
After 45 minutes with just one goal from Victor Froholdt, the second half brought the juggernaut of Francesco Farioli and Borja Sainz, André Silva and Gabri Veiga to score for the Porto players.
The defending national champions reached 10 victories in as many rounds, a feat that the blue and white club only achieved once, reaching 13, in the distant 1939/40 season, 86 years ago. Hungarian Mihaly Siska’s 13 consecutive victories are getting closer and closer.
Game movie:
After the midweek game against Académico de Viseu for the quarter-finals of the League Cup, Francesco Farioli changed the entire eleven and it didn’t take long to see his team opening the scoring. In a good collective move by the Dragons, Pepê appeared from the right and crossed to the heart of the area, where Victor Froholdt appeared to break the score after just four minutes.
Despite the big victory, the truth is that the goals didn’t appear in the first half, perhaps due to some offensive mistake. The opportunities even appeared, but sometimes the Estorilistas goalkeeper, sometimes the Canarinhos defense, avoided the storm. In the space of two minutes between 9 and 11, Pablo Rosario and Jan Bednarek came close to scoring a goal. Later, and after a medical emergency in the stands, Alberto Costa appeared in Turk’s face, shot and saw the goalkeeper make a huge save in the 25th minute. Samu also tried his luck in the 32nd minute, but the ball went wide.
