Borja Sainz did not participate in this match because he is in Spain following the passing of his mother, but he remained very present in the minds of his teammates and FC Porto fans, who showed him full solidarity during this difficult time.
Soon after Oskar Pietuszewski’s goal, the Polish player displayed a shirt with Borja Sainz’s number 17, receiving a huge ovation. Applause was heard again at the 17th minute, with the image of the Spaniard very much alive at the Estádio do Dragão.
At the end of the match, both William Gomes and Diogo Costa paid tribute to their teammate. “I want to wish Borja a lot of strength, as he is going through a difficult time. We played for him,” revealed the Brazilian. “A hug for my friend Borja, for this complicated moment he is going through,” added the captain. Everything indicates that the Spaniard should join the training session scheduled for tomorrow, as the mission in Alvalade begins.
