Vonic winner seals second straight win for Porto B, Farioli assists | OneFootball

FC Porto B won at home this Sunday, defeating Portimonense 1-0 thanks to a goal by Leonardo Vonic, in a rescheduled match from the 10th round of the 2nd League, thus securing their second consecutive victory.

With this result, the Dragons left the last position, handing it over to Benfica B, and moved up to 17th place with 11 points. Portimonense dropped from 13th to 14th place and remains with 12 points.

The goal came from a quick counterattack by FC Porto B, started on the left flank and extended to the opposite wing, where Pedro Lima crossed for Leonardo Vonic to head in and set the score at 1-0.

The opening minutes belonged to the Porto side, who managed to win two corners; it was only in the 8th minute that Portimonense left their own half, earned a free kick, and from that play, a corner.

From that moment on, the visitors gained confidence and, in the 13th minute, Lobato intercepted a pass near Porto’s area and shot, forcing João Costa into an acrobatic save that resulted in a corner.

The second half began with the goal that secured all three points for FC Porto B.

In a quick attack down the left, the ball was played to the opposite side, Pedro Lima crossed, and Leonardo Vonic appeared between the center-backs to head in unopposed, making it 1-0.

In a similar play, Alarcón crossed from the right and Karamoh was left alone on the left with a chance to increase the lead, but Maycon Cleiton rushed out quickly and made a great save.

Melnichenko also had the chance to kill off the game, but he took too long, hesitated, and when he finally shot at an open goal, Douglas Grolli got there first and cleared for a corner.

Portimonense still tried to react at the end, but could not break down FC Porto B’s defensive organization.
