FC Porto lost to Gil Vicente (2-1) at Estádio Cidade de Barcelos, for matchday 1 of the 2019/20 League. Lourency (61m) scored for the home team, Alex Telles tied the match (73m), and Bozhidar Kraev set the final score (77m).

Sérgio Conceição did three changes in comparison to the team that beat Krasnodar, for the first leg of the third qualification round of the Champions League, with Danilo, Romário Baró and Marega leaving for Bruno Costa, Otávio and Zé Luís.

Zé Luís, facing one of his old teams, Gil Vicente, who hadn’t competed in the main division since 2015, was the man responsible for the first goal opportunity for FC Porto, but headed outside, following the cross from Soares (6m). Corona didn’t do better 25 minutes in, before Marchesín saved two shots, just before the half-hour mark.

The end of the first-half had a play with referee Nuno Almeida signalling a penalty done by Alex Pinto, as he prevented Sérgio Oliveira from jumping, but then changed the decision, after watching the footage. Soares was unfortunate in two good situations (36m and 50m), and Sérgio Conceição made the first changes close to the hour mark, changing the Brazilian striker and Corona for Luis Díaz and Marega.

Gil Vicente made the best of a recovery and opened the scoreboard on minute 60, but FC Porto immediately tied, with Alex Telles scoring from penalty, after Rodrigão handed the ball. As the Dragons were pushing for the second goal, the home team made it 2-1, by Bozhidar Kraev (77m).
