O Porto saiu da lanterna da fase de liga da Champions League 2026/27. Nesta quarta-feira, no Estádio do Dragão, o time português aplicou 4 a 1 no Napoli e somou sua primeira vitória na competição.
Gabri Veiga comandou a noite. Deu a assistência para Jan Bednarek abrir o placar aos 11 minutos e voltou a aparecer na etapa final, quando as substituições de Francesco Farioli mudaram o jogo.
O Napoli, de Massimiliano Allegri, igualou aos 43, com Scott McTominay, e já tinha quatro cartões amarelos antes do intervalo. Na volta, Santiago Giménez — que entrara pouco antes — serviu Veiga aos 26; aos 35, Hwang In-Beom, outro reserva, achou Jakub Kiwior para ampliar.
A expulsão de Rafa Marín, em vermelho direto, abriu o caminho do quarto gol: Samu Aghehowa, também vindo do banco, converteu pênalti.
O Porto terminou com 52% de posse e 19 finalizações (oito no gol), contra 11 do Napoli (seis no alvo). Com três pontos em quatro jogos, a equipe portuguesa respira na tabela; os italianos seguem com os mesmos três. No domingo tem jogo pelas ligas nacionais: o Porto vai a Guimarães enfrentar o Vitória; o Napoli recebe a Lazio em Nápoles.
