It was a complete lesson in effectiveness given by FC Porto’s B team. At Vila das Aves, the dragons beat AVS 0-2 with Romain Correia and Wendell Silva being the highlights of this duel.
The blue and white team started the match better, but Jorge Costa’s men quickly reversed the course of events. With Gustavo Mendonça being one of the most unhappy, there were several opportunities provided by the team during the first half hour of the game.
However, António Folha’s group knew how to deal with efficiency. Following a corner kick taken by Bernardo Folha, Romain Correia appeared in the right place to shoot first time and beat Pedro Trigueira. The FC Porto central defender was one of the most visible on the field, unlike his brother, Anthony, who was somewhat missing on the other side of the field.
AVS ended up stagnating after the goal conceded and the start of the second half didn’t help the team either. Four minutes after returning from the locker room, Clayton lost the ball and Wendell Silva did nothing more than take advantage and shoot. from the middle of the street, seeing Pedro Trigueira out of goal. The result was sealed.
As the meeting progressed, the task became even more difficult for AVS. In the 70th minute, Nenê received a red card, after a harsh tackle on Rodrigo Pinheiro, and left the team even more lacking.
Until the end, Gustavo Mendonça still tried to calm the situation, but he could do nothing more. FC Porto’s B team overcame the promotion candidates and thus hampered the accounts of Jorge Costa’s men.
