With two goals and a missed penalty, Wendel Silva was the great hero of the afternoon – putting in his best performance in the last five months – and was instrumental in Porto B's victory in their visit to Académico de Viseu (0-2). A clear victory for the Blue and White, which added its second consecutive victory in the tournament and jumped to seventh place (40 points).
On the other hand, the Vicenci team suffered its second defeat at home, in the second division, this season, and remained in ninth place (38 points).
In terms of the match, the first 45 minutes were characterized by balance and lack of opportunities for both teams. Joao Montero that it Diogo Fernandez – Two regular substitutions – were the big news in both teams' goals, but they didn't have much to do.
Maura woke up; Wendell finished
Jorge Meireles, one of the most involved, was frightened by an acrobatic shot in the 10th minute, but it was Clovis who produced the best moment of the first half: after rotating inside the area, he shot well inside the area, but Diogo Fernandes – alert and in a good position – defended with great confidence. Towards the end of the first half, Rodrigo Moura continued to act with his usual magic, but he also failed to find the back of the net.
In the second half, more from Porto B and… goals! After a mistake by Gonçalo Sousa – shuddering after a beautiful cross from Martim -, Rodrigo Moura – what a wonderful passing quality (!) – found Vasco Sousa on his way into the small area and the midfielder, pushed by Marquinho, won a penalty. In the conversion, Wendel didn't waste it.
After the goal, Faez's response was timid and FC Porto B won again: with Abraham on the pitch, he helped the Nigerian Wendell who, after taking advantage of Arthur Chavez's slip, finished the ball directly at Joao Monteiro without any problems. Until the end, Wendel, again from the penalty spot, was close to scoring again, but shot too high: the worst moment of the afternoon for the Brazilian. In the last two moves of the match, Marquinho hit the post and Diogo Fernandes excelled after Nduwarugira's shot, which were the two best moves of the match for the Viseu team.
