FC Porto in the last 16 of the Portuguese Cup
After Uribe opened the scoring, in the 15th minute, the Brazilian midfielder cemented the triumph by scoring two goals on 39 and 45, with Evanilson, on 56, and Francisco Conceição, on penalty, on 72, giving volume to the result, with the Feirense scoring the goal of honor, in the middle, at 68, by Vargas.
In a match where the difference in arguments was more evident, the ‘dragons’ even emerged with more than half a team changed, compared to the last commitment, with Santa Clara, to the League, with Sérgio Conceição introducing in the ‘eleven’ Marchesin, Manafá, Fábio Cardoso, Uribe, Vítor Ferreira and Francisco Conceição.
Despite the deep changes, FC Porto had a devastating entry into the game, settling early in the opposite area to star in a one-way first half, giving Feirense a chance to breathe.
After an initial threat from Francisco Conceição and an incredible loss from Evanilson, it was not surprising that the first goal came after the quarter of an hour, with a blazing header from Uribe following a free-kick.
Forced to huddle up in defensive missions, Feirense didn’t outline a response, even because the ‘dragons’, even in advantage, didn’t take their foot off the accelerator and continued to bomb Arthur’s goal, with Evanilson and add unbelievable failures and Uribe trying to reach the ‘bis’ with shots from outside the area.
Subjugated to suffocation, Feirense only managed to find an opening after half an hour to launch their first counterattack, with Vargas staging a tremendous sprint and still sketching a shot, deflected by the white and blue defense, which still remains to João Paulo tries a recharge.
Indifferent to the boldness of the ‘fogaceiros’, FC Porto would cement the advantage in the last six minutes of the initial stage, with Otávio taking over as one of the figures of the game, making it 2-0, in a combination with Francisco Conceição and Manafá, at 39, and ‘bisando’, at 45, in a reload his header, after a corner.
Faced with the almost total ineffectiveness of his team’s offensive, Rui Ferreira, coach of the II Liga team, launched Steven and Jardel after the rest, two elements with more attacking vocation, to try to give width to Feirense’s football, but ended up betrayed by a defensive error on restart.
Bruno staged a crazy delay for his goalkeeper, putting the ball at the feet of Evanilson, who this time redeemed himself from previous failures, and deflected it to 4-0, in the 56th minute.
Even with the sharp disadvantage, and already playing for honor, Feirense still had the strength to look for the goal, and already after Steven had forced Marchesin to one of the defenses of the night, with a long shot, it was Vargas’ turn , by the same method, to reduce, at 68, with a shot from outside the area, after an initial loss of the ball by the white and blue player Vítor Ferreira.
The reaction of the Santa Maria da Feira team ended up being pinched shortly after by another defensive error, this time with João Pinto knocking Taremi down in the area, in a penalty foul, which was charged, at 72, by Francisco Conceição, no end of 5-1
