Set pieces account for 40 percent of FC Porto’s goals

The Olival laboratory once again had an effect on FC Porto. In Moreira de Cónegos, the first comeback orchestrated by Farioli's team was born from set pieces: Samu did not falter from the 11-meter mark and, with a penalty, leveled the score just before halftime, and later his substitute Deniz Gul headed in to secure the three points from a corner almost at the 90th minute. In total, the Dragons have accumulated 11 goals resulting from set plays, including penalties, which represents 40% of the team's 28 successful shots in 13 games. If we consider only the eight goals scored from corners, the share rises to 28.5%, clearly above the rest of the team.
