FC Porto under-17s lose to FC Alverca but stay clear leaders | OneFootball

FC Porto’s Under-17 team was beaten by FC Alverca this Sunday, 0-1, at the Pedroso Stadium, in a match from the 14th round of the Championship Qualification Phase of the National Under-17 Championship.

After a first half of total dominance, in which only the crossbar and the opposing goalkeeper denied several goalscoring chances, the blue and whites were ultimately caught by surprise by the Ribatejo side’s goal in the final ten minutes of regular time.

Despite the defeat, and with four matches still to play, the Dragons remain alone at the top of the table with 37 points, 11 more than Benfica, who are in second place and are precisely their next opponents.

The Porto side, coached by José João, lined up with Francisco Mendes, Francisco Ferreira, Rodrigo Morais, Rodrigo Teixeira, Martim Gonçalves (Afonso Vieira, 60’), João Brito, António Pereira (Gabriel Lança, 60’), Rodrigo Gonçalves, Gonçalo Santos (Rodrigo Barbosa, 60’), Gustavo Guerra and Tcherno Jamanca.

In the 15th round of the Championship Qualification Phase of the National Under-17 Championship, FC Porto travel to Seixal to face Benfica on Sunday at 11:00.
