FC Porto beat Benfica 33-37 this Saturday at the Pavilhão da Luz in Lisbon to claim their second win in two matches in Andebol 1. The result, from matchday three, means the blue-and-whites now have six points from a possible six.

The Dragons started the derby strongly and quickly built a four-goal lead (0-4). The Lisbon side responded during the first half and managed to level the score before the break, which came with the scoreboard at 17-17. Guilherme Borges and Ricardo Brandão stood out for FC Porto at that stage, with three goals each.

After the restart, the Porto side took control again and restored their four-goal advantage (18-22). This time, however, Benfica were unable to respond, with FC Porto staying in front all the way to the final whistle. Guilherme Borges was the blue-and-whites’ top scorer with six goals.

FC Porto return to action next Thursday at 7:45pm at the Dragão Arena against RK Partizan in a Matchday 2 Group A game in the Champions League, live on Porto Canal.
