FC Porto held to 1-1 draw by Vizela in 60-minute training match | OneFootball

FC Porto returned to training on Monday morning, less than 24 hours after their 1-0 victory over Rio Ave in the 23rd round of the Primeira Liga, decided by a goal from Danish international Victor Froholdt in the 22nd minute.

Despite the win, Francesco Farioli did not give the players any rest and organized a closed training match at the Jorge Costa Training and Sports Development Center in Olival. The match was split into two 30-minute halves and ended in a 1-1 draw. William Gomes—who had been brought on the previous day to replace Oskar Pietuszewski in the 65th minute—opened the scoring in the 16th minute, and Yann Kitala equalized near the final whistle (Kitala had also played in the win over Leixões, 1-2, the previous Friday).

In a statement released on their official platforms, the Dragons announced that the Italian coach lined up with Cláudio Ramos, Diogo Fernandes, Tiago Andrade, Luís Gomes, Dominik Prpić, Francisco Moura, André Oliveira, Tiago Silva, Seko Fofana, Rodrigo Mora, William Gomes, Borja Sainz, and Terem Moffi.

The less-used members of the squad thus took the opportunity to gain some “match fitness,” while “the rest of the group did recovery work,” in preparation for the home game against Arouca, scheduled for 6:45 p.m. (Portugal mainland time) next Friday. The only exceptions were Jakub Kiwior and Nehuén Pérez (limited training), Luuk de Jong and Samu Aghehowa (undergoing treatment only), and Martim Fernandes (split his work between treatment and the gym), whose names remain on the medical report.
