FC Porto beats Paços de Ferreira and gets closer to the title

Starting on Matchday 29 at the head of the league table, with three points of advantage and a comfortable double duel won in the direct confrontation with Benfica, the dragons, after the KO of the Eagles of Lage in Madeira, left for the game with a chance to hold already the champion belt.

After a bursting start, the opportunities to aim for the opposite goal followed, with a goal after seven minutes, scored by Mbemba, the dragons felt some difficulty to secure the victory. After a first period of visitor’s dominance, the home team made the team led by Sérgio Conceição sweat.

With opportunities to target the opposite goal at the end of the match, the runners-up never managed to give the final ax in the match, even revealing Sérgio Conceição some ‘heartburn’ due to the way his team showed.
