Porto: Only once missed title after six opening wins | OneFootball

The FC Porto secured their sixth victory in as many matches in the I Liga by defeating Rio Ave 3-0 away from home. This is the seventh time that the blue and whites have won the first six rounds of the I Liga.

On only one of these occasions did the Dragons not claim the title at the end of the season: the 1990/91 season.

On the other five occasions where they racked up six initial victories, FC Porto ended up being champions – 2017/18, 2010/11, 2007/08, 1939/40 and 1938/39.

The last time the Porto team started the competition with six consecutive victories was eight years ago, under the command of Sérgio Conceição, in the 2017/2018 season.

On Friday night, FC Porto defeated Rio Ave 3-0 in the opening match of the 6th round of the Primeira Liga. The blue and whites maintain a 100% win rate in the competition and lead alone.

Pablo Rosario, Samu and Gabri Veiga scored the goals for the Portistas, who kept a clean sheet – something that happened in five of the six games played. In the next round, FC Porto will travel to Arouca. Before that, they will make their debut in the Europa League against Red Bull Salzburg, in Austria.

Meanwhile, Rio Ave remains winless in the I Liga: they have three draws and two losses. Next Tuesday they face Benfica, in a match from the 1st round that had been postponed due to the Encarnados' participation in UEFA competitions.
