Bitter weekend for Luis Díaz in Portuguese territory. Although his team scored goals and remains the leader of the 2021-22 Liga NOS, in the final stretch of the match they wasted a maximum penalty.
Porto beat bottom side Belenenses 1-4 and maintains the leadership of the League with a three-point advantage over Sporting de Portugal, who also won this Sunday, going 0-2 against Vizela.
The team that had Díaz and Matheus Uribe from the start had the game uphill in the 13th minute, as the local team went ahead on the scoreboard with a goal from Abel Camará. However, Belenenses was left in the 31st minute with one less due to Yayá’s expulsion.
The Brazilian Evanilson, a great figure in the game, equalized in the 34th minute and put “the dragons” ahead in the 58th minute, while the Iranian Taremi made it 1-3 in the 61st minute.
Later the unfortunate situation would come for the peasant. ‘Lucho’ took charge of the penalty to declare Porto’s win, but his shot was saved by the rival goalkeeper.
Evanilson scored his third goal in the 84th minute and closed the final 1-4.
After the eighteenth matchday, Porto is the leader with 50 points, Sporting is second with 47 and Benfica, who drew against Moreirense on Saturday, drops to third place, 9 points behind the leader.
Was it a virtue of the goalkeeper Luiz Felipe or an error in the collection of Díaz?
