FC Porto held to 1-1 draw by Vizela in 60-minute training match | OneFootball

FC Porto returned to training on Monday morning, less than 24 hours after their 1-0 victory over Rio Ave in the 23rd round of the Primeira Liga, decided by a goal from the Danish international Victor Froholdt in the 22nd minute.

Despite the triumph, Francesco Farioli did not grant the players any rest and organized a closed training match at the Jorge Costa Training and Sports Development Center in Olival, divided into two 30-minute periods, which ended in a 1-1 draw. William Gomes—who had been brought on the previous day in place of Oskar Pietuszewski in the 65th minute—opened the scoring in the 16th minute, and Yann Kitala equalized near the final whistle (Kitala had participated in the victory over Leixões, 1-2, the previous Friday).

In a statement released on their official platforms, the Dragons informed that the Italian coach lined up with Cláudio Ramos, Diogo Fernandes, Tiago Andrade, Luís Gomes, Dominik Prpić, Francisco Moura, André Oliveira, Tiago Silva, Seko Fofana, Rodrigo Mora, William Gomes, Borja Sainz, and Terem Moffi.

The less-used squad members thus took the opportunity to gain some “match fitness,” while “the rest of the group did recovery work,” in preparation for the home match against Arouca, scheduled for 18:45 (Continental Portugal time) next Friday. The only exceptions were Jakub Kiwior and Nehuén Pérez (restricted training), Luuk de Jong and Samu Aghehowa (limited to treatment), and Martim Fernandes (split his work between treatment and gym), whose names remain on the medical report.
