FC Porto B beat CD Feirense and secure first win of the season | OneFootball

FC Porto B claimed their first win of the 2026/27 season by beating CD Feirense 1-0 at the Marcolino Castro Stadium. The match, part of the third round of the Segunda Liga, was decided by a goal from Martim Cunha, the defender’s first as a professional. With this result, the young Dragons climbed to 12th place, level on three points with the team in ninth.

João Brandão made four changes to the starting eleven, which had an average age of 20. In defense, Tiago Ferreira and António Ribeiro replaced Dominik Prpić and Luís Gomes, while Cardoso Varela made his first start and Trafim Melnichenka returned to the lineup. The two players were involved in the first chances of the match: after seven minutes, Cardoso Varela fired into the side netting and, shortly after, Melnichenka shot over the bar.

FC Porto B opened the scoring in the 21st minute. Mateus Mide delivered a precise corner and Martim Cunha appeared at the far post to head home beyond any chance of a save, putting the visitors in front. Near the half-hour mark, Mateus Mide himself forced a save from the opposing goalkeeper with a powerful long-range effort. In the following minute, Melnichenka tried his luck, but the score remained unchanged until halftime.

After the break, Tiago Andrade and Mame Niang came on for Cardoso Varela and Trafim Melnichenka. In the 69th minute, Kauê Rodrigues and Domingos Muxito replaced Mateus Mide and Duarte Cunha, before João Brandão completed the changes with Luís Gomes coming on for Dinis Rodrigues in the 86th minute. CD Feirense pushed for an equalizer, but the Porto side stayed compact and held on to their lead until Bruno Costa’s final whistle.

In the next round, FC Porto B will host FC Penafiel at the Jorge Costa CTFD mini-stadium. The match is scheduled for 6:00 pm on Sunday, August 30 (Porto Canal).
