Tiago Silva: Porto’s response just what they needed to regain belief

Tiago Silva, a supporter and commentator affiliated with FC Porto, assessed the “dragons’” victory over Moreirense, highlighting the demanding nature of the challenge and the way the team responded in the second half.

“It was really very difficult, it was really very tough. I think it was more due to Moreirense’s merit, who played very well in the match. They had an excellent first half,” Tiago Silva began by saying, underlining the quality of the opponent.

The commentator also highlighted FC Porto’s change in attitude after the break:

“Porto ended up giving almost 45 minutes of advantage, and in my view, came out completely transformed for the second half. In the second half, they managed to push more, create more opportunities. They wasted some clear chances and ended up not giving up and scoring the goal at the last minute.”

For Tiago Silva, the result carries extra weight in a demanding context and after a previous slip:

“In a very difficult match, on a very complicated pitch, and especially after being behind. It was a very important game, above all so we wouldn’t allow our rivals to get closer, but also because we were coming off a defeat.”

The supporter finished with a note of renewed confidence:

“Considering it was a tough ground, against a team that has had an excellent season, where FC Porto even started the game losing, this was exactly what Porto needed to regain the confidence levels they had shown up until last Thursday’s match.”

The victory of the “blue and whites” against Moreirense thus emerges as a turning point, according to Tiago Silva, at a time when FC Porto is looking to reaffirm its consistency and ambition in the league.
