Aves SAD give guard of honour to champions FC Porto | OneFootball

FC Porto was welcomed with a guard of honour before the match against AVS SAD, in Vila das Aves, after securing the league title last week.

As the teams came onto the pitch, the AVS SAD players formed a line to salute the Porto players, in a symbolic gesture of recognition for winning the championship. The moment marked the start of the match between the two sides.

Also before kick-off, Francesco Farioli, FC Porto’s coach, and João Henriques, AVS SAD’s coach, walked out arm in arm, as a sign of institutional and sporting respect between the two clubs.

The ceremony therefore preceded a match with a festive atmosphere for the blue and whites, who arrived in Vila das Aves with their status as champions already secured. AVS SAD’s tribute underlined that moment, in a welcome marked by cordiality before the start of the game, which ended in a 3-1 defeat for FC Porto.
