Coentrao crosses to Cardozo, he heads the ball ! HUGE save by Leiria's GK, Salvio gets the rebound, HITS THE POST!!!
GOOLLOOO NICO GAITAN! 2-0 He plays soo much better in his natural position, CAM. Once Martins was subbed out, Gaitan moved to CAM and Amorim to LM.
There is always pressure on Futebol Clube do Porto; anything less than a title will be considered a failure, and we have tons of injuries and lots of tough games coming up, including a trip to Benfica. Title race is not over in my opinion as long as the gap is 9 pts or less.
First of all, Jorge Jesus sucks. He thinks he's the next Mourinho. And second, lets be honest...Porto is not dropping 9 points. Even if Benfica beats them (i will settle for nothing less that 6-0 ), that means at least 2 more loses. Never. Not gonna happen.
Pretty sure it is. He signed for 2 years and at the end of this one would complete 2 years. Let's see if Benfica re-signs him.
