Expert opinions on fines vary. There are those who consider them competent, and there are those who talk about a “lottery”. Whether it’s training or luck, Porto have had neither for a long time.
In official competition, it will be necessary to go back to January 2010 to achieve the Dragons’ last victory on penalties, the Playmaker platform reveals.
Then the “blue and white”, led by Jesualdo Ferreira, defeated Belenenses in the Portuguese Cup match.
But even there, Porto almost had to complain about luck (or competence). The penalty shootout went down in history as one of the longest in history. Porto fans needed 30 shots to win 10:9 over Reshtelo.
Of the team selected for the game, naturally, not a single player remained in the blue and white team. Along with the players, the dexterity of the Porto players at the 11-meter mark also went away.
Remembering that with “Playmaker” there were only eight last matches between the “blue and white”, which were discussed in penalties, “Porto” recorded defeats with:
Benfica (League Cup) – 2014
SK Braga (Cup) – 2016
Keys (Cup) – 2016
Sporting (League Cup) – 2018
Sporting (Cup) – 2018
Sporting (League Cup) – 2019
Sporting (Cup) – 2019
Arsenal (Champions) – 2024
