Fofana’s three goals earn Porto four points, winter signing shines | OneFootball

Loaned by Rennes to FC Porto until the end of the season, Seko Fofana quickly became the winter signing with the biggest impact on the Dragons’ squad. At least that is the conclusion suggested by the numbers posted by the Ivorian midfielder in blue and white. The Elephants international has already scored three times and, on all three occasions, his goals had a direct impact on Porto’s points haul in the league.

In practical terms, Fofana has already added four points to Francesco Farioli’s team, thanks to his accurate strikes against Sporting (1-1), on his debut, against SC Braga (a 2-1 win at the Pedreira), and the day before yesterday against Famalicão (2-2).

Doing the math, if not for Rodrigo Pinheiro’s late goal, Fofana’s contribution would now stand at six points. Even so, with four, the experienced 30-year-old midfielder is the winter signing with the greatest direct impact on the Dragons’ league standing — Pietuszewski also has three goals, but only the one he scored against Benfica at the Luz had a direct effect on the points earned.

At the same time, Seko Fofana managed to take two points off one of FC Porto’s direct rivals: Sporting, in the clássico played at the Dragão.

Moreover, Fofana took to social media yesterday to leave a motivational message aimed at the blue-and-white world, but also, in some way, at the Porto dressing room. “Heads up! Another point and the bad spell is already behind us. We focus on the positives, work hard and move forward all together,” wrote the Ivorian midfielder on Instagram, with several teammates, such as Rodrigo Mora and Terem Moffi, endorsing Seko’s words.
