FC Porto lose again in the league after nearly 10 months | OneFootball

Almost ten months and 23 matches later, FC Porto lost again in the championship. The long unbeaten streak, which had been maintained since the defeat against E. Amadora on April 26, 2025, in the 31st round of the previous season, ended yesterday against Casa Pia.

In the lead-up to the classic match with Sporting, scheduled for Monday, the FC Porto team stumbled and recorded their first slip in an almost immaculate campaign. In the previous 19 rounds, the team led by Francesco Farioli had achieved 18 victories and one draw.

Moreover, this was the first time FC Porto dropped points away from home.

Álvaro Pacheco defeats FC Porto again

In his third game in charge of Casa Pia, Álvaro Pacheco achieved his first victory, and it was against an opponent he had previously defeated. Before yesterday's triumph, the coach had also beaten FC Porto while managing V. Guimarães, at Estádio do Dragão, in the 2023/24 season.

The victory also brings two firsts: it was Casa Pia's first win in 13 encounters with FC Porto and the team's first home victory this season.

The defeat against Casa Pia reduces FC Porto's margin before hosting Sporting. Instead of seven points, the blues and whites now enter the field with a four-point advantage over their closest pursuer, potentially regaining the previous difference in the best scenario or, in the worst, seeing the rival close in.

No matter what happens, it is certain that the team led by Francesco Farioli will leave that encounter as the isolated leader of the championship. The duel between the two clubs is scheduled for Monday.
