Football is full of surprises, but what was witnessed this Sunday in Vila do Conde was quite unusual. In a match of the National Under-19 Championship, Rio Ave hosted FC Porto and was leading 2-0 before the young dragons staged an impressive comeback that ended in a surprising 9-2.

At 10 minutes, David Moreira put the Rio Ave team ahead with a shot from outside the box; at 22 minutes, Miguel Patrício scored a stunning goal almost from the halfway line, taking advantage of the Porto goalkeeper's advanced position.

The blue and white recovery began at 41 minutes with a penalty converted by Tiago Silva. In the second half, a flood of goals followed from the visitors: Eduardo Ferreira completed a hat-trick (48′, 67′, and 78′), Rúben Barbosa scored twice (79′ and 82′), and the remaining goals were scored by Francisco Fernandes (58′), Yoan Pereira (60′), and Leonardo Fajardo (73′).

It is important to note that Rio Ave finished the match with nine players due to the expulsions of Pedro Izbisciuc (53′, for accumulation of yellow cards) and Yanis Boisseau (63′, with a direct red card).

FC Porto remains in first place in the standings of the North Series of the junior championship, with four wins in four games played.
