Bednarek scored the goal that sealed the championship. “It will go down in history”
FC Porto won the Portuguese championship, in which three Polish players played a major role. Jan Bednarek deserved special mention.
On Saturday, May 2, FC Porto won against Alverca 1-0, securing the Portuguese championship. The only goal in this match was scored by Jan Bednarek, who is one of the heroes of the entire season.
FC Porto is the national champion. Bednarek appreciated
Portuguese sports journalists emphasized that the Polish player was a pillar of defense from the first to the last match and the so-called captain without an armband, informal leader of the team. Experts from Antena 1 called it a key point of the defense.
Jakub Kiwior, who, together with Bednarek, created the “Polish wall” in defense of Porto, was also appreciated. The Portuguese have no doubt that the good performances of this duo opened the way to the transfer of the third Pole – Oskar Pietuszewski. The 17-year-old may not have had a successful performance on Saturday evening, but he can celebrate the championship together with his friends.
Bednarek made history in Porto
The journalists of “A Bola” emphasized for the match against Alverca that Jan Bednarek would go down in history as the player who opened the scoring in the match that won the championship. Only Diogo Costa (7) was rated higher than him (6).
Kiwior and Pietuszewski were rated 5. The former had to leave during the break after receiving a yellow card. The second one lasted on the pitch for an hour before he was replaced. “He will reach adulthood in only 18 days, but it is known that he has greater physical strength than many adults,” experts appreciated the young player.
Although there are still two matches left until the end of the season in Portugal, it is already worth appreciating the statistics of Francesco Farioli’s team. The team with two Poles in defense lost only 15 goals, scoring 64 of them. They collected 85 points, including 27 victories, 4 draws and only one defeat.
Second in the table, Benfica has collected 76 points, having won 22 matches, drawing 10 and not losing a single match. Sporting, which has a match to play, has 73 points, with 22 wins, 7 draws and 2 losses.
