Farioli hugged Samu after Alan Varela's goal | OneFootball

Samu was unable to extend his streak of six goals in four games and finished this match without scoring. Even so, the 21-year-old Spaniard was crucial in building the victory in Alverca, especially highlighted by the play leading to the second goal, where he shielded the ball in the opponent's area to allow his teammates to position themselves near the goal.

Francesco Farioli praised the striker's work and emphasized his importance during the celebrations of Alan Varela's goal. The Italian coach pointed to the Spanish international, who went to the FC Porto bench and received a warm hug from the coach. Farioli's attitude confirms what he has been saying about Samu's growing relevance in the team's offensive play. The forward has already accumulated 16 goals this season and brings remarkable combativeness to the attack.
