Player ratings

Nobody could get near Jaiminho

Successful dribbles: 55. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Gabriel Barbosa in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Farense this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Karel Spáčil falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Player ratings

Age has not caught Marco Matias yet — 8.00

At 37 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 8.00 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Player ratings

Nikola Gjorgjev runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 23. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Cláudio Falcão in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Farense this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Nobody could stop scoring

6 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Farense and Porto B in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

Squad

Gonçalo Silva out for 14 days

The medical room confirms 14 days on the sidelines for Gonçalo Silva, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Match

Farense find a way past Porto B

Porto B made Farense work for it, but the scoreboard read 4‑2 at the end and the table does not ask how.
