They are allowed to smile. Porto suffered, fell again, but managed to rise and booked their place in the Jamora final, where they will meet Sporting. Victory over Vitoria in a game in which there was a lot of participation from Conceicao, his father and especially his son.
After another tumultuous week, Sergio may have notoriously questioned whether there is an evil that lasts forever. The fact is that exactly 60 seconds into the game, Porto had already lost the advantage that it had brought from the city of Guimarães. A throw into the penalty area and Afonso, not Henriques, scores the first goal of the match.
The shock of Dragao and Porto being the only lifeline of the season. And again – in the background – it was the end or the fight. And the people of Conceisan decided to fight under the leadership of another Conceisan, his son.
In the 22nd minute, Charles strikes at Francisco, but Soares Dias only came to that conclusion after a VAR call. And then, of course, it took a few seconds to make a decision. Free kick for Taremi to level the score and regain the minimal lead in the tie.
However, this is not the season for minimalism. Porto continued to accelerate towards Charles, who evaded Pepe’s goal and then emphasized the point with Pepe’s help. In stoppage time he was unable to do anything against Chico. Posted and signed a shot and bows at the stadium in honor of the great figure of the game.
V. Guimarães tried to return to the discussion and even had a couple of opportunities to do so, at the best moment of the match. However, he did not take advantage of the wave and ended up drowning in the passages. Only Galeno’s selfishness and carelessness – he left whistling and empty – allowed the doubt to remain open, but the dossier was closed at 75 minutes. Sergio Conceicao played well: Baro came to show the way to the goal for Pepe, who finished without mercy or mercy.
In a particularly sad time, Porto were guaranteed to have the last laugh in the Cup final. For the completion of the world… and Jamora.
REASONS TO SMILE…
The journey of this season has been very turbulent, but Porto’s players have shown the will to fight until the end. Pepe played a decisive role in the match and Taremi scored another goal.
AND GALEN CRYS
A boring game from Galeno, who decided very poorly and selfishly on a couple of moves in the second half. Replaced by Conceicao, he cried on the bench as his coach consoled him.
HELP FROM VAR WOULD BE SMALL
A very incorrect analysis on the field – he gestured that Charles had thrown the ball – a penalty. Thanks to Fabio Melo for alerting us to an obvious mistake: on screen, he made a decision in a matter of seconds. It was more difficult to perform at the stadium…
