“Strapazzo” for Porto, who lost 1-2 to Rio Ave at “Dragão” for matchday 22 of the Primeira Liga and remained -8 behind leaders Benfica in second place, losing ground in the “race” for the conquest of the title, with the visitors moving up to +10 from the danger zone.
Only in the 4th minute, Taremi made it 1-0 for the “dragons”, but the dismissal of Joao Mario in the 35th minute brought about the turning point with the goals of Fran in the 27th minute and Mourinho with a penalty in the 45th minute + 1 minute. Uribe’s second dismissal in the 52nd minute did not allow Sergio Conceicao’s players to claim anything better.
Boavista “passed” with 3-1 from the home of the tail-ender Pasos Ferreira and reduced to -5 from the top five.
Rio Ave dropped to -7 from the privileged positions with a 1-0 home win over Chaves, which stayed at -8 from there.
