Francesco Farioli previewed the clash between FC Porto and Vitória SC, corresponding to the quarter-finals of the League Cup. The Italian coach recalled the victory and the difficulties that Estoril Praia created for the Dragons' team:

«It’s never easy to win football matches. If we look at the last two seasons and at the two direct rivals… I saw comments saying that in the last games we only won by one goal, but against our opponents we have a 13-point difference… We won against a strong opponent, who caused us a lot of problems. The fact that we are playing every three days is an extra [difficulty], we have to deal with it. And of course, credit to Estoril. They are a team that moves a lot and that opened up several opportunities. And with the chances we had, we could also have scored more goals. And, if that had happened, we would be here talking about another great night at the Dragão. We showed resilience, the ability to suffer, and as Diogo said, the most important thing is to move forward, win, and improve our performances».
