FC Porto and Benfica star in a match with 43 fouls. Taremi expelled, after a warning from the VAR, forces the dragon to suffer.
The classic was going very well, but the second half completely blurred the picture that FC Porto and Benfica painted in the first 45 minutes. The rivals ended up not going beyond the point and took advantage of Sporting’s stumble with Rio Ave. The duel was rich in tactical terms, intensity and ideas in the first half, a period in which goals were scored and the promise of a second Part of luxury, but the complementary stage was more of a wrestling spectacle, as the cadence of fouls, brawls and saves, spoiling the game. The teams accused the effort, the duels tightened and the record of 43 (!) Fouls was reached. Its alot.
FC Porto finished with ten, due to the expulsion of Taremi, for the unreasonable tackle on Otamendi. The Iranian still saw yellow, but the VAR alerted the judge, who changed the decision to red. In that period, FC Porto already suffered and played further back on the pitch, because Benfica, unlike the Super Cup final, was always more aggressive. If there was a game in which the dragons felt Otávio’s absence (from outside due to covid-19) it was this, since the Brazilian infects his teammates and gives another verve that, this time, Conceição’s team lacked. The coach had to get help from Díaz from the beginning and was left without weapons to spoil the match.p>
Jorge Jesús, in addition to Seferovic’s title, surprised Nuno Tavares at eleven, which led to the advance of Grimaldo. Benfica managed to defend with a line of five, but they played very well in the outings for the attack and that tactical “nuance” caused embarrassment to FC Porto.
It was Grimaldo, in a subtle deviation, after a table with Seferovic, who opened the asset, but the dragon responded well and scored, by Taremi, after a beautiful play between Sérgio Olveira and Corona. Even in the first half, the best chance was for Benfica with Darwin violently hitting the post (29m). Díaz also threatened to repeat the goal he scored in Choupana, with Nacional, in the Portuguese Cup, but the ball was deflected.
The first part ended full of pimples, but then, as you can see, there were more fights than football.
POSITIVE
Sérgio Oliveira and Pepe were the dominant voices at FC Porto. Diaz tried to move. Good game from Grimaldo and Rafa very loud.
NEGATIVE
Marega’s performance, which is already behind. Taremi miscalculated the time of entry and was well sent off. Darwin somewhat useless.
REFEREE
In a difficult game, it comes off on a positive note. He ended up with the whistle in the second half, but nobody made his life easier.
