Under-19: FC Porto held 1-1 by Santa Clara, drop points on the road

After a dominant first phase – with 16 wins in 18 games – FC Porto began the championship qualification phase with an unexpected draw (1-1) away at Santa Clara. In Rabo de Peixe, the Azoreans started more incisively and opened the scoring with their first shot on goal: Vital Maia made it 1-0 in the 34th minute, despite the Dragons dominating the match. In their debut in this phase, Santa Clara played very cautiously, conceding possession to FC Porto and focusing on closing off paths to their goal, a strategy that remained until the 73rd minute, when Filipe Sousa restored parity. Gabriel Aliaga even hit the post of the blue and white goal and, in the final moments, José Roxo secured the point for the Azoreans with two excellent saves from shots by Anhá Candé.
