Deniz Gül added a late fourth to seal the rout, securing Porto's return to winning ways and reclaiming second place in the Primeira Liga, briefly held by Benfica. The match took a pivotal turn just before halftime when Arouca’s Turkish forward Güven Yalçin was sent off, reducing the visitors to 10 men.

Sporting 2-0 Lille: Indisputable Victory

By Score More Sporting secured an important 2-0 win over Lille in the UEFA Champions League, marked by two memorable goals, although it was not one of Rúben Amorim's most thrilling displays this season. This was a must-win match for Sporting to keep their hopes alive for advancing to the next phase of the Champions League. Playing at home and facing a theoretically beatable opponent, the Lions passed the test with distinction. Sporting's dominance was clear, not just from the two goals they scored, but from several additional clear scoring chances. At the same time, Lille only threatened once, in the 88th minute, when a poor pass from Maxi Araújo allowed Cabella a chance, well saved by Israel. However, despite the win, Sporting never fully asserted their typical dominance. Sometimes, ev...

FC Porto-Farense, 2-1: FC Porto Scrapes Narrow Win Against Farense Amid Missed Chances and Late Drama

Benfica beat Santa Clara, 4-1 as Kokçu and Akturkoglu Shine in Lage’s Return

By Score More Staff In his return to Benfica, manager Bruno Lage oversaw an emphatic 4-1 victory, with key contributions from Turkish midfielder Orkun Kokçu and Argentine winger Kerem Akturkoglu, whose dynamic partnership in midfield played a crucial role in both defensive stability and offensive breakthroughs. The match, however, began disastrously for Benfica, as veteran center-back Nicolás Otamendi made a critical error just 21 seconds into the game. He was misjudging a long ball meant for Vinicius, Otamendi’s failed clearance allowed the Brazilian forward to go one-on-one with goalkeeper Anatoliy Trubin. Vinicius calmly finished, putting the visiting team 1-0 up and leaving the Benfica captain on the ground, watching helplessly as his mistake unfolded. Despite this early setback, La...
