Porto is still in the hole

The Europa League also did not become a balm for Porto.who in the last three games have just lost to Lazio in the Portuguese classic against Benfica and were also knocked out of the Taca de Portugal tournament by Moreirense. Samu’s team twice led Anderlecht (2-2), but failed to finish the match against Belgium. she remains undefeated in the second continental competition and is increasingly looking like she could be a team in the round of 16.

At the 19th second, Porto felt the first big panic. Dolberg surprised Porto’s advanced defense by giving Anderlecht a 1-0 lead but the Dane, a former Sevilla player, had his shoulder slightly forward earlier in his career, which VAR confirmed. The video referee supported Porto again when he recommended that Dane Krogh see a possible penalty from De Graef on Moura, which was highly doubtful.. The Porto player lowered his head too far to complete the corner, and the Anderlecht striker made a dangerous play that the referee ruled penal after checking. YesAmu asked to throw, but Galen pulled the ball and missed from eleven meters.

With the advantage on the scoreboard, Porto took a step back to try and use Samu’s speed and power on the counter-attack. The striker made a couple of runs, but the thoroughbred Spaniard got tangled up with the ball when he reached the penalty area.. Despite this, every time he caught the ball on the run, the local fans were in awe.

The second half also began with concerns for Porto. This time it was the post that saved Vitro Bruno’s team from scoring after Rits’ shot. De Greef was unforgiving minutes later after Rits stole the ball from Pepe on the balcony and passed it to a teammate in the box. After the draw, the game in the center of the field became completely muddy and the chances were falling bit by bit. Opoto’s best shot fell to Samu, but Koosmans showed courage, stepped out to meet him and snatched the ball from him before the Spain international could score.

It looked like the score was 1-1 until, in the 81st minute, Vitor Bruno brought in Fabio Viera, on loan from Arsenal but who has not played much of a role for Porto this season. On his first touch, the Portuguese midfielder controlled the ball on the edge of the penalty area and fired into the goal. His low shot went very close to the post and Fabio Viera did not hesitate to celebrate by covering his mouth in a clear challenge to the coach: I don’t talk, I do it on the grass. Porto’s joy was short-lived as Amuzu equalized three minutes later with a right-foot strike from outside the area to leave his side unbeaten in the competition..
