FC Porto B beat Felgueiras 1-0 and stay up in Liga 2 | OneFootball

Felgueiras were creating danger on both the left and the right, but it was Porto who opened the scoring, in an excellent move involving two Under-17 World Cup champions, with Under-21 coach Luís Freire present at Olival.

Duarte Cunha was picked out with a long pass down the right and crossed first time backwards. On the edge of the box, Bernardo Lima appeared and also struck first time. The ball went in by the right-hand post, giving Mateus Pasinato no chance whatsoever.

The visitors tried to respond, but another setback came in the 70th minute. Seven minutes after coming on, Jean-Marie was shown a straight red card following a dangerous studs-up challenge on Bernardo Lima.

Even so, Rui Ferreira’s side went in search of a result and came very close to equalising in the 79th minute. On the edge of the area, with the ball bouncing after a corner, Tiago Parente struck it powerfully, and the ball crashed off the crossbar and then onto the goal line.

Felgueiras also appealed for a penalty in the 84th minute for an alleged handball by Mateus Mide, but the referee waved play on. Despite the visitors’ persistence, the score did not change again, and with two matches remaining, FC Porto B secured survival, unlike their opponents.
