Paços de Ferreira and Porto B drew (2-2) on Monday, September 29, in the sixth round of the Segunda Liga. Domingos Andrade, former captain of the Sporting U23 team, was a starter for the blue and white team and played the full 90 minutes of the match.
At the Estádio Capital do Móvel, the blue and whites took the lead in the 14th minute through Belarusian forward Trofim Melnichenko. Towards the end of the first half, the Pacenses turned the score around with goals from Anilson (38') and Costinha (45+2').
The second half began almost immediately with a direct red card shown to Kauan (48m) after a full kick to the face of Diogo Fernandes, the Porto goalkeeper. Porto B equalized shortly after through Brayan Caicedo, a Colombian forward who had been introduced at halftime. At 70 minutes, Francisco Ramos saw a second yellow and left Paços reduced to nine. With this result, Paços de Ferreira now has four points and remains in 17th place, while Porto is in 18th and last with two. The lions are in third place, after a controversial defeat against Marítimo.
Domingos Andrade, currently valued at 1 million euros, bid farewell to the lions after two seasons at Alvalade (from 2021 to 2023), which was his first experience in Portugal. In total, the young player played one game for the B team, one match for the juniors, and participated in 48 matches for the U23s, scoring five goals.
The footballer is in his second season wearing the dragons' jersey, mainly representing the B team, led by João Brandão. For the secondary team of the blue and whites, the footballer has already played three games this season, being one of the regular starters in the Segunda Liga.
