FC Porto B-Penafiel, 1-0: Karamoh scores to settle it at Olival | OneFootball

FC Porto B won against Penafiel 1-0 this Friday, thanks to a goal by Yann Karamoh, in the 14th round of the Segunda Liga played at Estádio Luís Filipe Menezes, in Vila Nova de Gaia.

The secondary Porto team secured their fifth victory in seven rounds and gained ground in the escape from the relegation zone, totaling 17 points, one more than Penafiel, who were overtaken in the standings.

The Penafiel team, underperforming, recorded their third defeat in four rounds and fell to 11th place, while FC Porto B temporarily rose to 10th place.

In a match with few clear chances for both sides, it was the winger Yann Karamoh, recently integrated from the main team, who decided with a difficult shot in the 40th minute.

Penafiel started better and, at six minutes, Álvaro Santos forced João Costa into a tight save; on the rebound, Joseph Séry wasted an opportunity from a favorable position.

At 40 minutes, with few Porto approaches to the opponent's goal, Karamoh cut in from the left wing to the center and, already at the edge of the area, unleashed a powerful shot leaving Joan Femenías with no chance.

With the lead, FC Porto B entered more confidently after the break and won a penalty at 47 minutes, earned by André Miranda; in the conversion, Trofim Melnichenko saw the Penafiel goalkeeper make a decisive save.

From then on, the game maintained the rhythm of the first half, with few combinations and midfield battles, many second balls, and physical duels, without referee Miguel Nogueira finding it necessary to apply a stricter disciplinary criterion.

At 85 minutes, Leonardo Vonic, newly entered, hit the crossbar in a scramble inside Penafiel's area, but the 1-0 score remained until the final whistle.
