FC Porto B beat Benfica B (2-0) to match best-ever 18-team II Liga tally

FC Porto B closed the season with a home win against Benfica B, 2-0, thanks to goals from Gonçalo Sousa and Duarte Cunha, and should finish in fifth or sixth place, depending on Leiria’s result tomorrow, having matched the Dragons’ best-ever points tally since the competition began being played with 18 teams, that is, since 2018/19.

After a very troubled start, the side coached by João Brandão found its rhythm and ended the campaign with the same 51 points achieved in 2022/23. Only this time with a much younger squad. Back then, the average age was 22 and now it is just 19.
