Farioli embraced Samu after Alan Varela's goal | OneFootball

Samu was unable to extend his streak of six goals in four games and finished this match without scoring. Even so, the 21-year-old Spaniard was crucial in building the victory in Alverca, notably in the play leading to the second goal, where he shielded the ball in the opponent's area to allow his teammates to position themselves near the goal.

Francesco Farioli praised the striker's work and highlighted his importance during the celebrations of Alan Varela's goal. The Italian coach pointed to the Spanish international, who went to the FC Porto bench and received a warm hug from the coach. Farioli's gesture confirms what he has been saying about the growing relevance of Samu in the team's offensive maneuver. The forward already has 16 goals this season and brings remarkable combativeness to the attack.
