FC Porto beat Arouca 2-0 and go clear at the top of the Liga | OneFootball

FC Porto remain perfect and moved clear at the top of the league after beating Arouca FC 2-0 this Sunday at the Estádio do Dragão, in a match from the third round. William Gomes played a key role in the opening goal by setting up Gabri Veiga and was ultimately named the match’s MVP. Even so, the winger believes the Dragons could have produced a more convincing scoreline, as this was “one of the games in which we created the most chances.”

Despite their clear lead in first place, William Gomes stressed that “a new championship” is beginning and that the team wants to write “another book, another story.” To do that, he argued, “we have to stay focused so we can win game after game,” said the number 7 shirt.

The win and the assist “We played a good game and created a lot of chances. It was one of the games in which we created the most chances, but the goal was missing, especially in the first half. We knew that if we stayed strong, the goal would come. We’ve been working well during the week. Fortunately, I managed to get an assist, Pepê got one too, and Gabri and Borja scored.”

The lack of finishing “We created a lot of chances and we knew the ball would eventually go in, that if we kept creating, we would end up scoring.”

The opponent “We knew about their quality, they have a good team, and last season the match here was tough. We worked well during the week and managed to come away with the win.”

A new chapter in 2026/27 “We’ve learned the lesson, but what’s behind us is behind us, it’s a new championship and what we did is in the past. We’re writing another book, another story, and we have to stay focused so we can win game after game.”

Rodrigo Mora “Rodrigo was a good teammate, he helped me a lot when I arrived and he was one of my best friends here. I wish him luck, because he certainly has quality.”
