62% possession and only two more shots: the leader won 4-1

Sterile dominance that wasn't decisive

62% possession and 334 completed passes versus 38% and 163 completed: that is the setting of the 4-1. The striking nugget —and what changes the reading— is that that field superiority produced only a two-shot gap: 17 for FC Porto against 15 for Casa Pia.

Casa Pia turned immediacy into advantage in the first half: a penalty converted by Henrique Araújo at 43' and more shots on target (5-4). The numbers indicate the home team was more direct and effective near goal, while the visitor built through circulation.

The break came in transitions and inside the box

André Silva's equaliser at 45+3' reshaped the first half and triggered the visitors' lift. In the second half FC Porto increased production inside the area: 12 shots in the box against 6 for the host, and from there came Jakub Kiwior's goal (60') and Borja Sainz's (66').

Momentum records it clearly: overall dominance for FC Porto and 19 minutes of visiting pressure compared to 5 for the home side. Substitutions and the assists —Gabri Veiga to Kiwior, Pablo Rosario to André Silva— pushed the rupture in the mid-second half.

A numerical reading of efficiency

André Silva was the top-rated player (7.96), but the win was not only his: FC Porto completed 409 total passes and had 10 corners versus 240 and 5 for Casa Pia, evidence of positional superiority that eventually produced three goals after the break and a late penalty (Santiago Giménez, 90+1').

Casa Pia remains in trouble: form DLLLL and 18th place with 1 point; FC Porto confirms its lead with 15 points and the 'Promotion - Champions League (League phase)' zone. Statistically, the team that dominated possession was the one that made better use of chances inside the area.
