FC Porto beat Académica 2-1 today in a friendly played at Olival. The match took place behind closed doors and was divided into two halves of 30 minutes each.

Borja Sainz opened the scoring for the Porto side at 15 minutes of play. Amadou Condoul responded for Académica, equalizing the match at 40 minutes.

Samu, who had been injured since February, decided the match in favor of the dragões, scoring the goal that gave FC Porto the victory.

This victory comes after the national champions beat Casa Pia 4-1 in Rio Maior on Saturday.

Why this matters

This friendly mainly interests FC Porto fans, who see Samu return to scoring after a long injury, showing he is regaining fitness and could be an asset for the team in the final stretch of the season. The match allowed the coach to test alternatives and give playing time to less-used players.
