FC Porto defeated Arouca 3-1 this Friday and collected three crucial points in the race for the Liga Betclic title.
At the end of the match, in statements to Sport TV, Francesco Farioli considered the penalty incident that ended up being decisive in the final minutes to be “very clear” and mentioned that his team could have even scored more goals in the first half.
“First of all, let me convey the message from the team. Of course, this victory is dedicated to Borja and his family in this difficult moment. It’s important to send this message to a great man, and we hope to have him back soon. I think we had a fantastic first half, we could have scored more goals. And then, of course, to have this reaction after conceding the goal, where we had seven or eight shots, creating a tremendous amount of opportunities… I think the fans helped us overcome adversity. The reaction was top-notch. Good result and we move forward,” he began by saying.
About the penalty at the end… “I haven’t seen the footage yet, but it seems to me it was very clear. I don’t even think we should talk about it considering the performance we put in. There’s a lot to appreciate and to talk about, I think that’s more than enough.”
