The final whistle had barely faded after the intense “clássico” between FC Porto and Benfica. While a draw against a major rival might seem acceptable to some, it wasn’t enough for the Dragons. Francisco Moura, FC Porto’s energetic left-back, shared his thoughts with Porto Canal soon after the match.
Moura perfectly captured the team’s mood, calling it “a bittersweet feeling.” He explained that they felt they truly dominated the match. FC Porto created the best scoring chances and largely controlled the play from start to finish. The final result simply wasn’t what they had been striving for, but it wouldn’t stop them from pushing forward. He stressed that the team must continue their hard work.
He also talked about his developing partnership with teammate Borja Sainz. “We have good chemistry,” Moura stated, emphasizing that this connection comes directly from their dedicated training sessions. The entire squad contributes to their overall strength and intensity. Moura even remembered a similar play in an earlier game where he attempted a shot, but it didn’t quite find its mark. He remains positive, though, feeling confident that more opportunities will come his way in the future.
