The season opener for FC Porto was against Sporting Portugal, and it marked the beginning of a successful run for the team led by Francesco Farioli. The victory was an away victory, demonstrating the team's resilience and determination.

The first goal of the match came at the 61st minute, scored by Luuk de Jong for FC Porto. William Gomes then doubled their lead, making it 2-0 in favour of the visitors. Nehuen Perez of Sporting Portugal scored an own goal at the 74th minute, providing a glimmer of hope for the home team.
