Porto Honours Jorge Costa With League Start Victory
11 AUG, 2025
This evening at the Estádio do Dragão was marked by emotion and sporting excellence. In an official debut laden with symbolism, FC Porto defeated Vitória SC 3-0 in the opening match of the Portuguese championship 2025/26, delivering a brilliant offensive performance under the guidance of Francesco Farioli. Yet the true significance of the night extended far beyond tactical execution — it was a touching tribute to former captain and director of football Jorge Costa, who had passed away merely six days earlier.
