Historic night: Dragons thrive in Arouca’s atmosphere | OneFootball

Arouca and FC Porto have met 17 times, with 14 victories for the dragons, two for Arouca – both at their home ground – and one draw. Sixteen of these 17 matches were in the I League: 13 victories for FC Porto, two for Arouca and one draw. The 22 goals scored by the blues and whites in eight I League games at the Arouca Municipal Stadium average almost three goals per match. Arouca has only scored five goals against FC Porto in the I League as a visitor.

In the last eight Arouca home games against FC Porto in the I League, the hosts lost seven times and won once. That victory took place in 2023/24 (3-2), when Rafa Mujica, Cristo González and Jason Romeseiro responded to goals from Francisco Conceição and Evanílson and secured the three points for Arouca.

From the Porto team of that match, Diogo Costa, Alan Varela and Pepê, who were starters, as well as Cláudio Ramos, remain at FC Porto. At Arouca, Jason Romeseiro, Tiago Esgaio, David Simão, Pedro Santos, Alfonso Trezza and Miguel Puche are still there.
