September 10, 1967: FC Porto began the season with a win over Belenenses

At the start of the 1967/68 season, FC Porto defeated Belenenses 2-0 in a Portuguese League match played at the José Alvalade Stadium in Lisbon.

Under the command of José Maria Pedroto, the Porto side built their victory thanks to two goals from Djalma, making the best possible start to a campaign that would end with the club winning its third Portuguese Cup.

In the first match of Pedroto’s second spell as the Dragons’ head coach, the starting eleven featured Rolando, Fernando, João de Almeida, Mário Espingardeiro, João Atraca, Américo, Eduardo Gomes, Djalma, Custódio Pinto, Manuel António and Malagueta.

The visit to Alvalade was marked by Djalma’s clinical finishing and the solidity of FC Porto’s performance, as they opened the season with a two-goal win over Belenenses without reply.
