FC Porto is once again four points ahead of the second team in the table after beating Rio Ave (1-0) on Sunday at Estádio do Dragão, in the 23rd matchday of the competition. Victor Froholdt, who scored the only goal of the night and was named MVP, believes that “the game was never in danger,” but it is essential to be more effective when shooting at goal “so we don't risk losing points in games like these.” “Today we won by one, but we deserved the three points in front of our fans,” concluded the Danish international midfielder.

A difficult but fair victory
“It wasn't easy, but I think it was our fault. We should have taken the chances we had. We created several opportunities, especially through crosses. I don't think the game was ever in danger, but we have to close these games out earlier.”

More efficiency needed
“Everything is easier when you're winning 2-0, but we fought throughout the game and kept a clean sheet. We have to be more efficient so we don't risk dropping points in games like this.”

Giving everything is non-negotiable
“We approach every game the same way, to win. It doesn't matter if we're at the beginning, middle, or end of the season, we have to give everything we've got and we know there are things to improve. Today we won by one, but we deserved the three points in front of our fans.”
