Farioli: "Benfica in the next round? Let's focus on our next league match" | OneFootball

Francesco Farioli commented on FC Porto's victory over Famalicão, 3-1, in the round of 16 of the Portuguese Cup.

“A fair win. I think we deserved it and played a good match against a great opponent, who put in a strong performance, especially in the first half, with a lot of intensity. It was a great, solid display. I’m disappointed by the goal we conceded from a set piece, but Famalicão is very strong in that area. Happy with the result,” he said in statements to RTP Notícias, justifying the changes in the starting eleven and the reason for keeping Diogo Costa in goal.

“We’ll take it game by game, we have three good goalkeepers. Diogo is number one, but Cláudio and João are doing a good job. João is doing very well in the B team,” he pointed out, adding that he’s not yet thinking about the clash with Benfica in the quarter-finals.

“We’ll focus on the next league match,” he said, addressing the fans.

“I think winning is always good, people bought tickets, they came, the atmosphere was very good, even though the stadium wasn’t full, even with this weather. We’re happy with the support our fans are giving us. Let’s finish this year and then we’ll think about 2026,” he concluded.
