FC Porto draw 2-2 with Famalicão after late goal conceded | OneFootball

FC Porto drew 2-2 with Famalicão tonight at the Estádio do Dragão.

The home side took a 1-0 lead, thanks to a goal from Alberto Costa in the first half, but ultimately failed to hold on to it, conceding the equaliser through a header by Sorriso. All this came in the match before the first leg of the Europa League quarter-finals, in which the Dragons will face Nottingham Forest, managed by Portuguese coach Vítor Pereira. Still in the first half, Rodrigo Mora went off injured and was replaced by Seko Fofana.

At half-time, the Italian coach made further changes, replacing Zaidu Sanusi — who had already been shown a yellow card and had also received medical treatment — with Martim Fernandes, and Oskar Pietuszewski — who was putting in a below-par performance — with William Gomes.

The Dragons responded well and, in the 53rd minute, Seko Fofana tried his luck from distance, with the ball going very close to the target. Even so, the good spell did not last long because, in the very next move, Sorriso took advantage of an incomplete save by Diogo Costa to head home the equaliser.

Seko Fofana put the Dragons back in front in the 90+1st minute, giving the impression that the victory was secure… until, eight minutes later, Rodrigo Pinheiro scored the leveller and set the final score.

Even with this setback, FC Porto remain clear leaders of the Primeira Liga with 73 points, five more than second-placed Sporting, who hosted and beat Santa Clara 4-2 and still have the much-talked-about clash with Tondela in hand, and eight more than the third-placed side, who will still face Casa Pia at the Estádio Municipal de Rio Maior.
