Porto remain the standalone leaders of the Primeira Liga after a dominant 3-1 victory over Arouca. With this win, the Dragons reach 65 points, extending their lead to seven points over Sporting CP as they continue their march toward another league title.
The hosts started the match in historic fashion. Just 20 seconds after kickoff, Oskar Pietuszewski found the back of the net, marking the fastest goal ever scored at the Estadio do Dragao. After controlling the tempo for the remainder of the first half, the Dragons headed into the locker room with a 1-0 advantage.
However, Arouca emerged for the second half with a renewed attitude, nearly equalizing early on when Taichi Fukui rattled the crossbar. Their persistence eventually paid off as Nais Djouahra found the equalizer, briefly putting the visitors in a position to secure a valuable away point.
Porto refused to settle for the draw, eventually retaking the lead in the 90th minute when Willian Gomes converted from the penalty spot. To put the match beyond doubt, Terem Moffi capitalized on a late opportunity to seal the 3-1 win, ensuring three vital points for the league leaders in front of their home crowd.
