Porto B win third in a row vs Portimonense, up to 4th | OneFootball

FC Porto B achieved their third consecutive victory in the Second League by defeating Académico de Viseu 3-1, in a match of the 21st round where the visitors played for an hour with one less player.

The expulsion of goalkeeper Domen Gril, which occurred in Vila Nova de Gaia, was the decisive moment: until then, Académico de Viseu was winning and controlling the match.

The Beirões started better, and Álvaro Zamor, with a header, forced João Costa to make a high-level save.

Even while dominating, Académico opened the scoring in the 28th minute through André Clóvis, assisted by Luís Silva.

Two minutes later, Gril touched the ball with his hand outside the area, received a direct red card, and was expelled; Kahraman left for goalkeeper Bruno Brígido to enter.

With numerical superiority, FC Porto B took control and equalized in the 45th minute through André Oliveira, who capitalized on a defensive error to score inside the area.

In the second half, the Dragons showed confidence and pressure, with Dinis Rodrigues providing two decisive crosses from the right flank for Vonic to score twice, in the 51st and 56th minutes, completing the comeback.

Académico, reduced to ten men, couldn't respond against a cohesive opponent in good form, who temporarily climbs to fourth place with 30 points.

The Viseu team remains in second place with 35 points, potentially seeing the gap to the leader Marítimo (41) increase if they win against Farense on Saturday.

Location: Estádio Luís Filipe Menezes, in Vila Nova de Gaia.
