Porto “laughed”. The “dragons” conceded 0-0 to Rio Ave at “Dragão”, in the framework of the 20th game of the Primeira Liga and remained -4 behind the top and Sporting Lisbon, whose match at the home of Famalicao was postponed, so the players of Sergio Conceição will now wait for Benfica’s match against Gil Vicente on Sunday at “Da Luz” to see if the “eagles” will find themselves first and at +6 from their spineless compatriots.
For their part, the visitors took a valuable point in their attempt to escape from the bottom three.
The “dragons” had chances to score and put pressure on the opposing goal, but they didn’t succeed and the expulsion of Boateng in the 93′ didn’t have time to benefit them.
Aruka moved up to seventh, winning 2-1 at home to Portimonense and leaving them just +4 from the dangerous positions.
