This Saturday, FC Porto receives Gil Vicente, in the sixth round of the I Liga, seeking to temporarily isolate itself at the top of the championship, as the first of the trio of leaders to play.
The Dragons have the same 13 points as Boavista, leader of the championship, and Sporting, second, and in case of a tie or victory they can take the lead.
In the European hangover, coach Sérgio Conceição has several important casualties, with Zaidu joining Marcano, Veron, Evanilson and Namaso in the clinical report after the victory against the Ukrainians.
The match begins at the Dragão after a minute of silence in memory of Américo, former goalkeeper of FC Porto and the national team who died on Friday. In the 8th minute, Galeno started everything inside the opposing area and then Taremi back-heeled Iván Jaime, who didn’t waste anything and scored for the Dragons for the first time.
In the first quarter of an hour, Wendell needs to be assisted by the FC Porto medical team, but a minute later he recovers and the match continues. Ten minutes later, André Franco is assisted by Taremi and puts the ball into Gil Vicente’s goal, but the goal is disallowed for offside.
A crazy pass from David Carmo, in the 36th minute, allowed Gil Vicente’s team to take advantage and, in a counterattack, the Angolan Depú equalized.
The Barcelos team’s goal left the Dragons more nervous and, for the moment, without the ability to dominate the match. The referee gives two minutes of compensation.
