Under-19: FC Porto thrash Sporting 6-0 and top the championship group | OneFootball

The FC Porto under-19 team hosted and thrashed Sporting (6-0) this Friday at the Estádio de Pedroso, in the 7th round of the Championship Qualification Phase of the National Junior A Championship. The blue and whites remain firmly at the top of the table, now with 17 points, five more than Benfica, who have played one game less, and seven more than Sporting and Rio Ave FC.

In a dream first half for the Dragons, it was captain Bernardo Lima who showed the way with a headed brace, first assisted by Duarte Cunha (16’) and then by Mateus Mide (33’). Just before halftime, Eduardo Ferreira even missed a penalty, but Duarte Cunha made it 3-0 on the rebound (44’).

Shortly after the restart, Anhá Candé set up Mateus Mide for the 4-0 and the under-17 world champion made no mistake (51’), confirming Porto’s rout in this classic, which grew even bigger with a Lisbon own goal (55’). To cap off a beautiful afternoon, Francisco Ferreira produced a moment of genius and sealed the final 6-0 (90’), which is the biggest ever home win for Porto’s under-19s against Sporting.

Porto’s under-19s, coached by Sérgio Ferreira, lined up with Antoni Nikolov, Filipe Sousa (João Pinto, 78’), Martim Chelmik, Salvador Gomes, José Afonso, Tiago Silva, Bernardo Lima (Francisco Fernandes, 84’), Mateus Mide (Rayan Demirci, 78’), Duarte Cunha (Tomás Peixoto, 71’), Eduardo Ferreira (Rúben Barbosa, 71’) and Anhá Candé.

In the 8th round of the Championship Qualification Phase of the National Junior A Championship, FC Porto will host CD Santa Clara at the Estádio de Pedroso (Saturday, April 4, 11:00 am, Porto Canal).
