FC Porto failed to reach the Portuguese Cup final after drawing 0-0 with Sporting this Wednesday at the Estádio do Dragão in the second leg of the semi-finals. At the end of a match in which “we have to accept what happened on the pitch”, Francesco Farioli admitted that “the outcome was not what we wanted” and accused the Lisbon side of coming to Invicta to “waste time”: “We crushed them in every aspect.” “Now we have a few days to prepare for the next game and we have to be ready with the level of quality that the League demands of us,” added the Italian coach, with Sunday’s away match against Estrela da Amadora at 6:00 p.m., broadcast on Sport TV, in mind.
The Italian coach also praised the team, saying he is “very proud to coach this team of fantastic players”.
