Under-19: FC Porto thrash Sporting 6-0 and top the championship group | OneFootball

The FC Porto under-19 team hosted and thrashed Sporting (6-0) this Friday at the Estádio de Pedroso, in the 7th round of the Championship Phase of the National Junior A Championship. The blue and whites remain firmly in the lead, now with 17 points, five more than Benfica, which has one less match played, and seven more than Sporting and Rio Ave FC.

In a dream first half for the Dragons, it was captain Bernardo Lima who pointed the way with a header brace, first assisted by Duarte Cunha (16m) and then by Mateus Mide (33m). Just before the break, Eduardo Ferreira even missed a penalty, but Duarte Cunha raised the score to 3-0 on the rebound (44m).

Shortly after the restart, Anhá Candé set up Mateus Mide for the 4-0, and the under-17 world champion did not miss (51m), confirming Porto's rout in this classic, which was further inflated by a Lisbon own goal (55m). To end the afternoon beautifully, Francisco Ferreira executed a brilliant play and sealed the final 6-0 (90m), marking the biggest home win ever for Porto's under-19s against Sporting.

The Porto under-19s, coached by Sérgio Ferreira, lined up with Antoni Nikolov, Filipe Sousa (João Pinto, 78m), Martim Chelmik, Salvador Gomes, José Afonso, Tiago Silva, Bernardo Lima (Francisco Fernandes, 84m), Mateus Mide (Rayan Demirci, 78m), Duarte Cunha (Tomás Peixoto, 71m), Eduardo Ferreira (Rúben Barbosa, 71m), and Anhá Candé.

In the 8th round of the Championship Phase of the National Junior A Championship, FC Porto will host CD Santa Clara at the Estádio de Pedroso (Saturday, April 4, 11:00 am, Porto Canal).
