Decisive figure delivers first half breakthrough for Porto against Rio Ave | OneFootball

Victor Froholdt struck in the 22nd minute with a close-range finish, giving Porto a 1-0 win over Rio Ave. The midfielder's goal decided a tight Liga Portugal contest.

Arriving from midfield, he converted from very close range after Oskar Pietuszewski teed him up, guiding a right-footer into the roof of the net (22.).

After the restart, he was inches from a second, smacking the left post from the left of the six-yard area after Deniz Gül's pass (61.).

He finished with three attempts, five touches in the box and 23 of 27 passes completed, including six in the final third, plus three recoveries that kept Porto on the front foot.

His timing of runs from midfield consistently gave Porto a penalty box presence, stretching Rio Ave's back line and ensuring the decisive moments fell his way.
