Fernando Sá: FC Porto shone in the second half of the derby | OneFootball

Coach Fernando Sá did not hide his satisfaction with the important victory achieved in the classic against Benfica, in a game where he considered that "FC Porto delivered a brilliant second half."

"The first half was interesting tactically, but it wasn't pretty and our percentages were low. After the break, the brilliance in the way we shared the ball and the effectiveness had a huge impact on the scoreboard," commented the Porto coach, also emphasizing that "it was a game where neither team had supremacy": "Benfica pulled ahead by eight points, but we reacted well. Those who came in added value, and then the effectiveness in outside shooting was decisive. What really made the difference was the way we attacked the basket in the second half and how we managed to block Benfica's attack."
