FC Porto B won today by 4-2 at Leixões' ground, in a match related to the 13th round of the II Liga, moving up from last to 13th place in the standings.

The Leixões team opened the scoring with Bica at 27 minutes. Brayan Caicedo equalized at 30, Kauê Rodrigues put FC Porto B ahead at 45+8 from a penalty, Kanuric leveled the score at 54, João Teixeira made it 3-2 at 63, and Tiago Andrade set the final score at 69.

Leixões, coming from an away defeat, created danger as early as the third minute when Simão crossed low and Salvador Agra, in a good position, couldn't deflect the ball into the goal.

At nine minutes, Bica also crossed from the left, with Porto's defense conceding a corner; these plays preceded the curling shot that Bica converted at 27, after an assist from Cláudio and good individual work.

FC Porto B responded quickly and equalized three minutes later, in a play down the right concluded with a first-time placed shot by Brayan Caicedo, after a cross from André Miranda, leaving Stefanovic with no chance.

At 44 minutes, João Teixeira was brought down by Naldo in Leixões' area; the game continued until VAR forced referee João Pinheiro to review the play, resulting in a penalty.

Leonardo Vonic attempted to convert, but Stefanovic saved with his right hand, and the team and local fans celebrated; however, the referees deemed the goalkeeper committed an irregularity, so the penalty was retaken.

The second penalty, at 45+8 (nine minutes after the foul), was then taken by Kauê Rodrigues, who didn't miss, putting FC Porto B ahead at halftime.

At the start of the second half, Leixões could have equalized; at 53 minutes Caicedo was injured and substituted, leaving on a stretcher, and a minute later Kanuric took advantage of a loose ball to score a beautiful goal and level the match at 54.

With enthusiasm from the goal, Leixões pushed forward and took more risks, which FC Porto B exploited to find spaces behind them: João Teixeira shot with precision at 63 to make it 3-2.

Tiago Andrade set the final score at 69 minutes.

Match held at Estádio do Mar, in Matosinhos.
