Borja Sainz strikes against Rio Ave and pays tribute to his late mother | OneFootball

Borja Sainz marked his 50th appearance for Porto by scoring the 2-0 at Rio Ave and dedicating it to his late mother.

The winger could now be handed a start by Farioli for the visit of Arouca, potentially ahead of William, according to O Jogo.

Almost eight months later, he found his range again in Vila do Conde, finishing a flowing move that involved four substitutes.

Alberto Costa carried the ball, André Silva let it run with a body feint, Inbeom slipped the pass and the Spaniard finished.

Sainz pointed to the sky, revealed 'amo-te mãe' beneath his shirt and could not hold back the tears.

Team-mates embraced him, aware of the moment’s importance.

The moment could act as a mental release and the platform for a strong season in blue and white.
