FC Porto B-Penafiel, 1-0: Karamoh scores to settle it at Olival | OneFootball

FC Porto B defeated Penafiel 1-0 this Friday, thanks to a goal by Yann Karamoh, in a match of the 14th round of the Segunda Liga played at Estádio Luís Filipe Menezes, in Vila Nova de Gaia.

The Porto reserve team secured their fifth win in seven rounds and gained ground in their escape from the relegation zone, totaling 17 points, one more than Penafiel, who were overtaken in the standings.

The Penafiel side, underperforming, recorded their third defeat in four rounds and dropped to 11th place, while FC Porto B provisionally climbs to 10th place.

In a match with few clear chances for either side, it was winger Yann Karamoh, recently integrated from the main team, who decided the game with a difficult shot in the 40th minute.

Penafiel started better and, in the sixth minute, Álvaro Santos forced João Costa into a tough save; on the rebound, Joseph Séry wasted an opportunity from a favorable position.

At the 40th minute, with few Porto attacks on the opposing goal, Karamoh cut in from the left wing to the center and, just outside the area, fired a powerful shot with no chance for Joan Femenías.

With the lead, FC Porto B came out more confident after the break and won a penalty in the 47th minute, earned by André Miranda; on the spot, Trofim Melnichenko saw Penafiel's goalkeeper make a decisive save.

From then on, the game maintained the rhythm of the first half, with few combinations and midfield battles, many second balls and physical duels, without referee Miguel Nogueira finding it necessary to apply a stricter disciplinary criterion.

In the 85th minute, Leonardo Vonic, who had just come on, hit the crossbar in a scramble inside Penafiel's box, but the 1-0 score remained until the final whistle.
