FC Porto see off Avanca 46-30 in league opener | OneFootball

FC Porto confirmed their status as favorites by beating Avanca 46-30 on Friday, in the home game that opened Matchday 7 of the Championship.

With this win, the Dragons, with a game in hand, moved to the top of the standings, a position that reigning two-time champions Sporting can reclaim when they host FC Gaia on Saturday.

Avanca showed good dynamism and goalkeeper Gonçalo Morgado, son of Sérgio Morgado, stood out, but the Dragons responded with quick transitions and quickly broke down the visitors’ resistance.

Leading 5-4, FC Porto then extended the advantage to 10-4, and Avanca could no longer restore the balance.

Swede Linus Persson, in excellent form, was FC Porto’s main reference by scoring x goals, as was goalkeeper Abrahamsson, while left winger Leonel Fernandes was not called up.

FC Porto play again on Tuesday, traveling to Iceland to face Fram Reykjavik in Matchday 1 of Group D of the European League.
