Not seen at FC Porto for 74 years | OneFootball

After three matchdays, FC Porto boasts a +9 goal difference in the league, a feat not seen since the 1951/52 season. Seventy-four years ago, under the guidance of the Argentine Eladio Vaschetto – winner of the Arsenal Cup, which is displayed in the club's museum – the blue and whites scored 13 goals and conceded four, with victories of 2-3 against Oriental, 6-1 over SC Braga, and 1-4 against Salgueiros. Although the season ended with a third-place finish, that start was remarkable and culminated in another win over Barreirense by 3-2.

Under Farioli’s leadership, the team combines clear offensive efficiency with great defensive solidity, having kept a clean sheet in the first three matchdays. In comparative terms, Farioli surpasses Sérgio Conceição (8/0 in 2017/18), Vítor Bruno (7/0 in 2024/25), André Villas-Boas (6/0 in 2010/11), and Julen Lopetegui (6/0 in 2014/15).

The victory over Casa Pia, with a four-goal difference, stands out as the first result with that margin in 2025. To find a similar outcome, you have to go back to December 2024, during Vítor Bruno’s tenure, when FC Porto defeated Boavista by the same score.
