FC Porto suffer first pre-season defeat to Gil Vicente | OneFootball

FC Porto suffered their first defeat of the 2026/27 pre-season on Wednesday night. The Dragons lost 1-0 to Gil Vicente at the Cidade de Barcelos Stadium, in a match that served as the Gilistas’ team presentation to their members.

Hours after beating Penafiel 3-0 early in the morning, with two goals from André Silva and another from Gabri Veiga, the Porto side took to the pitch again, this time for the first open test of their preparations. Francesco Farioli left several players out, including Kiwior, Bednarek, Gabri Veiga and André Silva, so FC Porto travelled to Minho with an alternative lineup and many youngsters, without any new signings in the starting eleven. On Gil Vicente’s side, several new faces were named in the starting lineup.

Although they arrived late at the stadium due to an accident on the motorway that forced the kickoff to be delayed by 15 minutes, FC Porto started strongly and took control of the game. However, the team gradually lost intensity as the match went on.
