Half the wins by one goal, but three points still count | OneFootball

FC Porto picked up more points in the national championship, with Rio Ave leaving defeated. A precise finish from Victor Froholdt, just before halftime, decided the match at Estádio do Dragão. It’s worth noting that this was once again a victory by a single goal.

This is already the 14th win of Francesco Farioli’s side in this fashion, out of 29 victories so far this season. Looking at the numbers, the percentage stands at 48 percent. A truly significant figure.

However, although the Dragons are used to ‘suffering’ until the final whistle, they are not suffering… goals. In 2025/26, the Invicta team has conceded in only 14 matches. In other words, in 22 out of the 36 games played so far, the blue and whites have managed a ‘clean sheet’ – 61% of the matches.

Between remarkable defensive solidity and resilience, FC Porto has been getting results. The team currently leads Liga Portugal Betclic and remains in contention in the Europa League and the Portuguese Cup. Beyond the numbers, most fans are certainly satisfied.
