According to Glorioso 1904, Porto full-back Francisco Moura has temporarily deactivated his Instagram account following the draw at Benfica, after heavy criticism from Porto supporters.

The clássico at Estádio da Luz unfolded with Porto striking first. The Danish Victor Froholdt scored on 10 minutes, and the Polish Oskar Pietuszewski doubled the lead on 40. Benfica replied after the break through the Norwegian Andreas Schjelderup on 69 and the Luxembourger Leandro Barreiro on 88.

Moura came on in the 58th minute with Porto 2-0 up, but saw the advantage slip as Benfica fought back late on.

The backlash intensified immediately after the final whistle, with many users addressing him directly and blaming him for defensive moments preceding Benfica’s goals.

This was not the first such episode for Moura online, with similar criticism in earlier fixtures, including against Sporting, where he was involved in a late penalty incident in a 1-1 draw.
