FC Porto left Alvalade defeated 1-0 by Sporting in the first leg of the Portuguese Cup semi-final; the second leg is scheduled for April at Estádio do Dragão.
Pedro Marques Lopes, a well-known FC Porto supporter, commented to the newspaper Record.
“It was a good game from FC Porto. Our swift coach, indeed, an extraordinary coach, knows well that he has three decisive weeks and managed the squad well. We are losing 1-0 at the end of the first half, it went one way, but it could have easily gone the other way and we could be winning 1-0. I think Francesco Farioli is doing a good job. In April, we have the second leg, everything is open. I know we managed something they didn’t, and they already have a game on Saturday. I have a good feeling about these three weeks and the future of FC Porto.”
