Seven goals in 15 minutes and ten in 25, in an unbalanced ratio of 7 to 3 in favor of FC Porto, was what the national champion provided to his audience at Dragão Arena, in the first half of the reception to Sanjoanense. A hearty meal on the eve of Christmas festivities for the home fans, who will not have been disappointed by the less scoring abundance of the blue and whites after the break. After all, the game was won. Even so, the Dragons, in line with the consistent increase in performance that they have shown in recent games, after a weak start to the season, continued to add weight to the scoreboard - and to make it more uneven than the four goals with which they reached the break. The cake for the team led by Paulo Freitas reached eleven, but there could have been many more. Sanjoanense had long surrendered to their opponent's superiority and left this duel with only the merit of having scored four goals at FC Porto's home ground. Carlo di Benedetto and Gonçalo Alves, by their count, scored more than half of the Porto team's total haul (six goals) – both with a hat-trick – and Rafa scored two. Hélder Nunes, Pol Manrubia and Ezequiel Mena also contributed with a goal. Edu Lamas and Telmo were the only ones of the eight field dragons to be left blank. The victory allows FC Porto to move up to fourth place, with the same 19 points as HC Braga, but the slip-ups in the initial phase of the championship put them five points behind third-placed, OC Barcelos, who still has a game to spare – winning it overtakes Sporting in second place (25), now having 27 points. Isolated in the lead (30), Benfica will always have a three-point gap over the Minho team, if they impose favoritism on Sanjoanense, in a home match rescheduled for January 14, 2026.
