Olhanense Stun FC Porto

I should have titled this article How the mighty have fallen, but I already used it to describe the Manchester United loss yesterday. You see in the Liga Zon Sagres, it's not very rare for a team on the bottom to stun one of the big three as it is a shock in the Barclays Premier League. Anyways, after dropping the Champions League and losses to Sporting CL and a couple of losses to Benfica (Taca De Liga and Taca De Portugal), Porto find themselves in trouble as they traveled to Estadio Jose Arcanjo in Ohlao to take on SC Olhanense in a league match. This match was also one of replacement coaches as Porto was dealing with new boss Luis Castro while Olhanense was on their third manager this season in Italian Giuseppe Galderisi. Porto also find themselves in third place behind the other members of the big three for the first time since 1982 while SC Olhanense find themselves in a relegation playoff situation.

When the match started it looked as if Porto was just going to dominate possession for the whole entire game as they kept most of the possession, but Olhanense started to gain some momentum as time went on. In the 14TH minute of play after a free kick was sent into the box, it would find Danish international Per Kroldrup who get it past Fabiano for the first goal of the game. From that point on, Porto dominated the possession game, but Olhanense never allowed Porto to do anything substantial. Olhanense was constantly on the counter attack and it would pay off in the 66TH minute when Italian international Federico Dionisi was able to get the ball past Fabiano for the second goal of the game. It was a shock to Porto who found themselves down and unable to do anything until the 82ND minute of the game. Porto had a corner kick that was sent in, but it would be deflected out of the box, but Porto's Héctor Herrera rocketed the ball for Porto's first and only goal of the game. After four minutes of stoppage time, the final whistle would blow and Porto found themselves digging a deeper hole for themselves.
