FC Porto and Liceo faced off in the opening match of this edition of the Final 8 of the Roller Hockey Champions League, a competition that will be held entirely in Coimbra, at the Dr. Mário Mexia Multisports Pavilion, and the Dragons came out on top with a 6-2 win.

At half-time, the score was level at one goal apiece, with Nuno Paiva scoring for the Galician side and Carlo di Benedetto netting for the blue-and-whites. In the first half, both teams benefited from the inspired performances of their respective goalkeepers. It was an opening 25 minutes with only 6 (!) fouls in total, in a period also marked by the successive time-outs called by both coaches.

In the second half, the Porto side took greater control of the game, raised their levels of aggression and intensity, and scored twice in two minutes, still within the opening 10 minutes of the second period, through Carlo di Benedetto and Rafa. Ezequiel Mena scored Porto’s fourth and fifth goals, while César Carballeira pulled one back from the penalty spot.

With this result, the blue-and-white team secures a place in the semi-finals of the competition and now awaits the outcome of the clash between Óquei de Barcelos and Italy’s Trissino to find out their next opponent.
