Portuguese giant FC Porto scored one of the best team goal’s you’ll ever see on Tuesday night as it lifted the Primeira Liga title for the 29th time.
Already leading mid-table Moreirense 4-1 at the Estadio do Dragao courtesy of goals from Luis Diaz, Otavio, Alex Telles, and Moussa Marega, Porto’s wonder goal came in the 78th minute from a move starting in its own half.
The move began when midfielder Vitor Ferreira picked up the ball near the centre circle, and passed the ball to Mateus Uribe on the right flank, who then played a wonderful three-way interchange with substitutes Wilson Manafa and Mamadou Loum to advance up the pitch.
Uribe then picked out Otavio on the edge of the Moreirense box, who played a beautiful back heeled give-and-go with Diaz before squaring the ball to striker Tiquinho Soares to roll home into an empty net.
As Soares tapped in, ecstatic cries of que golazo! (what a goal!) rang out from the bench.

Less than 10 minutes later, Otavio and Soares then combined again to score Porto’s sixth, and add the icing to the cake of a memorable victory.
Sergio Conceicao’s side had already secured the Primeira Liga title by beating Sporting Lisbon 2-0 on July 15, however lifted the trophy at an empty Estadio do Dragao after its thrashing of Moreirense.

“I believe this is one of the most important titles for FC Porto and that it was won by everyone that works with us,” Conceicao told the club’s website after the win.
“Congratulations to the players, who always believed, even during the difficult moments we had in the season, in face of the obstacles we had to overcome. They were always aware of that and remained ambitious.”
He added: “It’s a shame that we don’t get to see our home full with fans, to watch this great tactical match, with two good teams. The fans should have lived this joy with us.”
Porto next faces Braga in its final match of the Primeira Liga season, before taking on rivals Benfica in the final of the country’s main cup competition, the Taça de Portugal, on August 1.
