FC Porto B lose 3-0 to CD Tondela in the Segunda Liga | OneFootball

FC Porto B lost 3-0 to CD Tondela at the Estádio João Cardoso and remain on three points in the Segunda Liga. Porto fielded their second-youngest starting XI of the season, with an average age of 19.5, and finished the match with five under-20 players on the pitch: 16-year-old Eirik Granaas, 17-year-old Cardoso Varela, 18-year-old Eduardo Ferreira, 19-year-old Martim Cunha, and 20-year-old João Teixeira.

João Brandão brought in Luís Gomes, Yoan Pereira and Kauê in place of Tiago Ferreira, Martim Cunha and Cardoso Varela, who had started the previous game. The first chance fell to the blue-and-whites: Duarte Cunha drove through the middle and played in Mateus Mide, whose powerful shot forced a fine save from Carlão in the 12th minute.

In the 15th minute, João Afonso responded with a good save from a long-range effort by Hugo Félix. However, in the 28th minute, he was unable to prevent Van der Heide’s goal, as the forward finished off a quick transition to put Tondela ahead (1-0).

At the start of the second half, Cardoso Varela and Eduardo Ferreira replaced Duarte Cunha and Trafim Melnichenka. Tondela doubled their lead in the 48th minute through Tomané. Before the hour mark, João Teixeira and Eirik Granaas came on for Tiago Silva and Bernardo Lima.

FC Porto B made their final change in the 66th minute, with Martim Cunha replacing Yoan Pereira. In the 70th minute, João Afonso stood out again by denying the hosts a double chance. Although the Dragons took the initiative in the closing stages, it was Tondela who scored again, once more on a quick break, making it 3-0 in the 90th minute.

In the next round, FC Porto B host FC Vizela at the Olival mini-stadium. The sixth-round Segunda Liga match is scheduled for 18:00 on 14 September.
