Froholdt hails Pepê after Porto win: ‘His quality goes unnoticed’ | OneFootball

Froholdt singled out Pepê after FC Porto’s 3-1 win away to Estoril in the 29th round of the Primeira Liga, saying the Brazilian had “a great game” and stressing that the full extent of his quality is not always recognised.

Pepê’s performance once again had a direct impact on the result. The forward opened the scoring in the 14th minute, finishing at the far post after a move built down the left. FC Porto went into the break ahead and kept control of the match in Amoreira.

In the second half, the team coached by Francesco Farioli extended their lead and all but put the game beyond doubt. Froholdt also played a decisive role in the move that led to Porto’s third goal in the 72nd minute, a play that ended with an unfortunate touch from Xeka into his own net. Estoril still pulled one back to make it 1-3, but the Dragons held on to their lead until the final whistle.

With this victory over Estoril, FC Porto strengthened their lead at the top of the table and confirmed their strong run of form. In the end, Froholdt’s words reflected Pepê’s impact in a match in which the blue and whites were superior for long stretches and knew how to turn that superiority into three important points in the title race.
