FC Porto held to a goalless draw by Racing Power FC at Olival | OneFootball

FC Porto’s women’s team drew 0-0 with Racing Power FC in the third round of the league, in a match played at the Olival mini stadium. The blue-and-whites remain fifth in the standings, one point ahead of SC Braga, who host Sporting later this afternoon.

Ema Gonçalves returned to the matchday squad five months after an injury, while Daniel Chaves named the same starting eleven he had used in the previous round. Even so, the clash with Racing Power FC proved to be more evenly balanced. In a hard-fought first half with few clear chances, the pressure from the Setúbal side made it difficult for Porto to play out from the back and limited the home team’s attacking build-up.

In the closing minutes of the first half, FC Porto managed to take greater control and moved closer to the opposition goal. Maria Negrão produced an excellent individual move in the 37th minute, striking from outside the box just wide of Taylor Rath’s goal. Maria Inês Nogueira, Morgan Stone and Fátima Pinto also created dangerous situations, but the score remained goalless at the break (0-0).

The restart brought no significant changes to the game. In the 55th minute, Daniel Chaves brought on Alex Kerr for Fatumata Sissé, looking to give the team more attacking threat. Later, Angeline da Costa replaced Eliza Turner, but the changes had no impact on the result.

With ten minutes remaining, Letícia Almeida, Ana Teles and Lina Jamaï came on for Maria Inês Nogueira, Morgan Stone and Maria Ferreira. Although the match picked up pace in the final stages, neither team was able to break the deadlock (0-0).

FC Porto now travel to the Complexo Municipal de Setúbal to face Racing Power FC again, in the opening round of the League Cup, on Sunday at 4:30pm.
