FC Porto lose again in the league after nearly 10 months | OneFootball

Almost ten months and 23 matches later, FC Porto has lost again in the league. The long unbeaten streak, which had lasted since the defeat against E. Amadora on April 26, 2025, in the 31st round of the previous season, ended yesterday against Casa Pia.

On the eve of the classic with Sporting, scheduled for Monday, the FC Porto team stumbled and recorded their first slip in an almost flawless campaign. In the previous 19 rounds, the team managed by Francesco Farioli had collected 18 wins and one draw.

Moreover, this was the first time FC Porto dropped points away from home.

Álvaro Pacheco defeats FC Porto again

In his third match in charge of Casa Pia, Álvaro Pacheco secured his first victory, and it was against an opponent he had already beaten before. Prior to yesterday’s win, the coach had also defeated FC Porto while managing V. Guimarães at Estádio do Dragão in the 2023/24 season.

The victory also brings two firsts: it was Casa Pia’s first win in 13 encounters with FC Porto and the team’s first home victory this season.

The defeat against Casa Pia reduces FC Porto’s lead ahead of the match against Sporting. Instead of seven points, the blue and whites now go into the game with a four-point advantage over their closest pursuer, and, in the best-case scenario, can restore the previous gap or, in the worst case, see their rival draw closer.

Whatever happens, it is certain that the team led by Francesco Farioli will leave that match as the sole leader of the league. The clash between the two clubs is set for Monday.
