Porto bench players make an impact in two straight league matches | OneFootball

In two recent rounds of the championship, FC Porto once again showcased the depth and quality of their squad, securing two consecutive victories thanks to decisive goals from players who came off the bench. In the away match against Moreirense, the team secured three points by winning 1-2, with the Turkish international Deniz Gul – brought on from the bench – sealing the result in the 88th minute, a goal widely celebrated by the fans.

In the home game against SC Braga last Sunday, in a highly intense match against a top-level opponent, it was the Spaniard Borja Sainz who emerged as the decider, scoring the winning goal for a 2-1 victory after being brought on by Francesco Farioli in the 64th minute. This is yet another example of FC Porto's ability to rely on squad solutions and the importance of substitutes – even though Borja Sainz is clearly often used as a starter – for the team's success.
