FC Porto B beat Sporting B 1-0 in penultimate II Liga round | OneFootball

FC Porto B won away to Sporting B this Saturday afternoon, 1-0, in the 33rd and penultimate round of the II Liga. In Alcochete, the lions’ dominance in the first half was broken at times by the blue-and-whites’ counter-attacks. After midfielder João Teixeira had already threatened for FC Porto B in the 10th minute, full-back Dinis Rodrigues went on to put Porto ahead.

After Rodrigo Dias, Sporting B’s centre-back, had held an opponent inside the six-yard box, Dinis Rodrigues opened the scoring in the 37th minute. It was the first goal for the 21-year-old full-back for the B team.

Before half-time, Tiago Andrade and Luís Gomes again created danger for the Dragons, with shots that skimmed past Pedro Miguéis’ right post.

In the second half, Sporting regained control of the match and pushed for an equaliser, but without being effective in the final third. Amid the changes made by both teams, the Dragons’ lead held until the final whistle.

With this win, FC Porto B climbed to sixth place with 48 points. The championship ends at Olival against Benfica B, who are in seventh place.
