Faroli makes Bordelas look like Guardiola. This is just not good enough. Alverca is a weak opponent, no doubts about that. They have a decent CB and winger, but nothing more than that. Porto scored twice with penalties from lost chances. Clearly Alverca's mistakes. Organized attacks were weak, Pepê is still the same guy from 2022. Diogo Costa, the CB's and Frodholdt are the keystones from this team. Nevertheless, 2 points ahead of Sporting.
