FC Porto vs Portimonense Match Preview
Anything other than a routine home win will be a huge surprise. FC Porto have been in fantastic form this season, and the five-nil mauling of great rivals Benfica last weekend will have further elevated already sky-high confidence levels.
Indeed, over-confidence appears the only aspect Porto boss Andre Villas Boas will have to be wary of. Portimonense have struggled away from home, losing four and drawing one of their five matches to date.
With Porto’s front three of Hulk, Falcao and Varela yet to draw a blank in 2010/11, Portimonense’s on-loan Porto goalkeeper Ventura is likely to be in for a busy night at the Estadio do Dragao.
FC Porto vs Portimonense Match Report
Porto were without the injured Falcao and Fernando and the suspended Moutinho as they welcomed Portimonense to the Estadio do Dragao.
A lukewarm match never truly got going, although that was no fault of Walter, who scored a cracking goal to give Porto the lead on 29 minutes. After exchanging a neat one-two with Ruben Micael, the Brazilian marksman produced a sublime lob which sailed over Ventura and under the bar to break the deadlock.
The visitors almost scored a shock equalizer in the second half as Ivanildo struck the crossbar from a free kick, but Porto held on without further alarm. In the dying seconds Hulk converted a penalty to complete a routine 2-0 win and consolidate his place at the top of the Portuguese goalscoring charts.
