00:03And away we go with Alverka playing in black from right to left in the first half.
00:14Concentration absolutely key for these young defenders early on as they look to keep Porto out.
00:23Bednarek, here's Martin Fernandes.
00:33Kibior now, who has signed permanently from Arsenal.
00:36He was on loan last season, but is a Porto player now.
00:42William Gomez cutting inside Figueiredo.
00:48Gomez went down, gets the free kick.
00:51He may have hurt himself making that challenge, was the big one.
00:56Gabri-Vega's delivery, teasing ball into the area, well defended.
01:02Eventually, Vivaldo gets it away.
01:12Vivaldo probably would have been known.
01:16Francesco Farrioli will be keen for Porto to keep the pace of this game up and keep stretching Alverka.
01:34Gomez, really good running off the ball by Froholt.
01:36An excellent cross, oh, it's just wide of the target.
01:40But Andre Silva has gone down in that collision with the goalkeeper.
01:44It was a great cross from Froholt, so inviting.
01:53Bruno Estevej is the call official this evening.
01:58Great run, timing of the pass was perfect for Froholt.
02:03Very good cross.
02:05There was contact between the goalkeeper there and Andre Silva.
02:10Although, I don't think that's going to be enough for him.
02:18Luis Cordinho isn't particularly popular around these parts.
02:22When Porto played Sporting last season, he awarded Sporting a penalty kick deep into stoppage time.
02:31Sporting scored that.
02:32Luis Suarez for a 1-1 draw.
02:33Now, he's coming over to the screen here.
02:43I think at full speed.
02:46In slow motion, it looks worse.
02:49The ball is going out of play anyway.
03:12The penalty has been awarded.
03:15I think Mateusz is unfortunate there.
03:19He's going to get a yellow card as well.
03:31It's a great chance here for Porto.
03:34Still, for me, it falls into the harsh award category.
03:39Shake of the head from the goalkeeper.
03:41He would agree, that's for sure.
03:46It's a great chance for Andre Silva to open his account.
03:53Nine years later.
04:00Picture of concentration.
04:06And he's buried it.
04:07Porto lead.
04:10In the ninth minute.
04:1614th of May, 2017.
04:19His last goal in the league for Porto.
04:22Before he moved away.
04:24Now he's back.
04:26And he's back amongst the goals.
04:30Clinical finish from Andre Silva.
04:37Could he be the antop for Porto this season?
04:40And certainly that was confidently stroked away.
04:45Nine minutes on the clock.
04:47It's Porto 1.
04:49Malbraca 0.
04:504-0.
05:04Bill is over the ball.
05:10Grounded six-yard box.
05:11This is dangerous.
05:14In taiwan for a corner.
05:17Claims for a handball there
05:20Tom Gomes
05:21Last season with that ACL injury
05:24It's going to be a while
05:25I think before he's back
05:28Chegredo's away here
05:29Good pace from him, driving forward
05:31He's got support inside
05:33He goes it alone
05:35And that was shoulder to shoulder
05:36As indicated by the referee
05:48First corner of the match for Lodeca
05:58And Chequinha to take it
06:02Towards Bojack at the near post
06:05The shot on the turn there from Basaya
06:08Flashes wide
06:23Lucas, the Brazilian
06:25Making his way towards the back post
06:27Their very recent arrival
06:28And Alberto
06:342-0
06:41Most of the threat will come from the big men
06:43Bojack, Macea
06:52Delivery
06:53Easily cleared by Zaidou
07:04Can he give the attacking players a chance
07:06With a good ball here
07:07Chequinha
07:08It's an outswinger
07:09It wasn't a bad ball
07:10Swing and a miss from
07:11Yeah, Lucas
07:17James
07:18James
07:20Zaidou won the initial header
07:23And Chequinha
07:29It's time to go there
07:40Nadia Fernandez
07:49Nadia Fernandez
07:52Here's Frode
08:02It's neat football from Porto
08:03It's neat football from Porto
08:04Anything at the end of it
08:10That's the question
08:11Here's Gomez
08:15It's neatly done by William Gomez
08:17Just off the toe of Isaac James
08:19For a quarter corner
08:20Blind in
08:24The whole faithful are looking for more from their side
08:27I think they're entitled to
08:30It's been poor so far from Porto
08:42Here's Pepe
08:45Here's Pepe
08:46Rejection of energy from the Brazilian
08:53William Gomez
08:55Back to Pepe
08:57Across from Pepe
08:59That was a dangerous one
09:01Steven Barcea
09:02Got an important boot to it
09:04Andre Silva claiming he was fouled
09:06Lovely bit of interplay
09:13Oh, was there a pull on Andre Silva's jersey there
09:16And if there was
09:17This could be a second penalty
09:19You know
09:19I think it's going to be
09:30Figueredo was
09:33Fighting
09:34He's there with the referee
09:36That angle there is pretty incriminating, isn't it?
09:40Once he's onside
09:42That's the other factor, I suppose
09:51I'd say instantly
09:52Andre Silva's claiming for the penalty
09:55As you'd expect
09:55In that situation
10:04Without the pull on the jersey
10:05Would he have got to the ball anyway?
10:07That's a moot point
10:29It's going to be a carve, I'm sure, for Nabil Tuazi as well as a penalty kick
10:44Can't really have any arguments
10:51Some shake of the head in frustration from Tuazi
10:54But it was a silly thing to do with Pior these days
10:59Never going to get away with that
11:01It's just maybe a natural reaction
11:04But a very costly one
11:07So the penalty taking duties
11:11Have been accepted by Gabri Vega this time
11:28Got in the same way
11:29Gabri Vega
11:39It's 2-0
11:40Just before half-time
11:44After Andre Silva's earlier penalty
11:46Gabri Vega
11:48Opens his account for the season
11:51Putting the ball pretty much in the exact same spot
11:57And in the first half
11:58Where they haven't really hit top gear
12:01Porto
12:02Lead by 2 goals to nil
12:09Goalkeeper nearly got there
12:10He got a touch on it
12:11But just couldn't get a firm enough hand
12:14To keep it out
12:16Good effort
12:17From Mateus Mendes
12:18He'd be disappointed actually
12:19Not to have saved that
12:31So Porto
12:32Two goals to the good
12:55He's gone out all sides of his boot
12:57In the corner
13:00Got a goal now
13:01Just before half-time
13:02Just the tonic for
13:06Albedka
13:07He'll go across
13:08Parking out the orders
13:10And his defenders here
13:20Chiguredo with the shot
13:22Chiguredo with the shot
13:22Chiguredo with the shot
13:23Chiguredo was in the way
13:26Chiguredo again
13:29Chiguredo with the shot
13:40Chiguredo with the shot
13:40Borela towards Saeedu
13:42He's been caught by Toazze there
13:44Yellow car
13:46Toazze needs to be careful
13:47.
13:55Martin Fernandes.
13:59Jose gets it away, but only as far as Gabri Vega.
14:03Vega goes for the chipped effort.
14:05Oh, that was close.
14:09Fingertips.
14:15Goalkeeper's angle there from behind the goal.
14:26He got caught in two minds there, really.
14:29Chiquinho, neither a shot nor a cross.
14:33Frustration for his boss Sergio Ferreira.
14:36He's had a really good first half, Chiquinho.
14:38He's been excellent, but it was wasteful.
14:42And it's the last action, half the half.
14:44Porto going in with a two-goal lead at the break.
14:47Both goals coming from the penalty spot.
14:49Andre Silva, nine years after his last lead goal for Porto.
14:53Back at the drug out and scoring from the penalty spot on nine minutes.
14:57Gabri Vega took over, penalty-taking duty in the 44th minute.
15:01put the ball in the exact same place.
15:04And Porto, despite having been...
15:11So away we go.
15:18William Gomez quiffing one in there, headed away by Bojan.
15:26James.
15:40Lucas has done well to get away from a couple of Porto players there.
15:43He's got his pass away to Freitas, the captain as well.
15:46Good ball in behind for Vivaldo.
15:53David Gui with the shot, which was too hot to handle for Diogo Costa.
16:02Vivaldo was the other player to go off, by the way, for Alderga, replaced by Merek, who's leading the attack
16:08now, the number 17.
16:13Ball's going in the other direction now, though.
16:14It's Pepin.
16:18Vega.
16:20Sainz has over-hit that cross.
16:22That was a good opportunity again.
16:24There was plenty of players coming in at the back post.
16:26Needed a better delivery than that from Porto Sainz.
16:36Here's Pepe.
16:37Spaces are starting to open up now.
16:43On that ball.
16:51On Alverka.
16:53There's Ford here.
16:54The shot forces the save there from Costa.
16:57Very good effort from...
17:04Chiquinho has been a real bright light for Alverka in this game.
17:08Every time he gets on the ball, he's been threatening.
17:11His pace is causing Porto real problems.
17:14That was a very good effort.
17:17Excellent save.
17:19By Costa.
17:22Took a little bottle there as well.
17:24Very good save.
17:33Drilled through and it's out for another corner.
17:38Substitutions will still wait.
17:55That's Rosario for Zaidou.
17:59Caught in possession there.
18:01Pablo Rosario.
18:03Sammy Mering.
18:06No foul.
18:07He's looking for the free kick there.
18:09The Lebanese international.
18:15Camorra.
18:19Sweeping cross field pass.
18:22Teres.
18:27The absence of Alberto.
18:30French players.
18:32Join.
18:33America from Dunkirk.
18:41The clearance there.
18:45It's been a tough night.
18:48Tickling in the second half for the Alberta defenders.
19:13Tickling in the second half for the Alberta defenders.
19:17Alverka.
19:22It's a good ball and the header is just over the top.
19:26Jan Bednarek couldn't quite get over the...
19:33Super delivery.
19:34Got there well before the goalkeeper.
19:38Just too high.
19:48Chiquinho outnumbered in midfield.
19:51Here's Rodrigo Moura now.
19:54Pepe.
19:55Heavy first touch from Pepe.
19:57Easy for the goalkeeper.
19:58It hasn't been Pepe's night.
20:02Academico.
20:04About half an hour's time.
20:21Zaidou calmly back to Diogo Costa.
20:24Checking the watch from the referee.
20:27Luis Scudinho.
20:30Whistle to the lips.
20:31And it's all over.
20:32At the Estadio de Dragao.
20:35And it is job done for Francesco Farrioli's men.
20:38Against a very gallant Alverka side.
20:41With two first half penalties.
20:43One from the returning Andre Silva.
20:47Nine years after his last league goal for Porto.
20:50And Gabribega with the second penalty just before half time.
20:53That was enough for Farrioli's men.
20:57Another clean sheet as they start this season.
21:01The way they left last with 21 clean sheets last season.
21:05Well, they've won already this season.
21:07And they've won this match in comfortable fashion in the end.
21:11And the final score.
21:12In.
21:12.
21:14.
21:14.
21:14.
21:14.
21:14.
21:14.
