FC Porto achieved, for the second time this season, two consecutive victories in Liga Portugal 2 by defeating FC Penafiel 1-0 this Friday at CTFD Jorge Costa, in Olival, in a match for the 14th round.

After “a very difficult game,” João Brandão revealed that the Dragons took to the field to “represent FC Porto well” and to dedicate the win to Brayan Caicedo, “a young man with tremendous character and tremendous quality whose career was interrupted due to an injury.” “In such a balanced game and in such a competitive Second League, we have to finish the game with the chances we have. We could and should have closed out the game earlier,” the coach concluded.

Victory dedicated“It was a very difficult game, especially in the first half, but today we had two goals in mind: to represent FC Porto well and to represent Brayan Caicedo. He really wanted to be here contributing, he is a young man with tremendous character and tremendous quality whose career was interrupted due to an injury. We really wanted to win to dedicate these three points to Brayan Caicedo.”

Distinct halves“In the first half we were somewhat hasty and not calm in the game, but when we managed to settle down, we started to get closer to FC Penafiel’s goal. In the second half we adjusted our defensive positioning and the best chances were ours. In such a balanced game and in such a competitive Second League, we have to finish the game with the chances we have. We could and should have closed out the game earlier.”
