Just over 24 hours before the decisive meeting of the 21st round of the League, which could influence the title race, FC Porto achieved a positive result as an appetizer for the classic.

In the second round of the under-15 championship qualifying phase, the Dragons traveled to Alcochete and defeated their rival Sporting with a convincing 5-1, securing their first victory in the final phase of the championship.

At the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy, Rodrigo Seca opened the scoring in the 2nd minute. At 15', the festival of forward Tiago Portugal began, the main figure of this under-15 FC Porto team. At 33', Lourenço Moutinho made it 3-0, and at 50', Tiago Portugal completed his brace.

Sporting, performing well below expectations, managed to reduce the deficit at 59' through captain Luís Gonçalves, with a great goal. The blue and white response came almost immediately: after a monumental error in the lion's area, Tiago Portugal assisted João Afonso, who shot powerfully for the manita.

In stoppage time, Nicolás Aparício, Sporting's central defender, was sent off with a direct red card after inadvertently hitting an opponent's chest with the sole of his boot. The Sporting player apologized to the Dragons' athlete and left in tears.
