Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): A friendly match between Porto, Portugal and Atletico Madrid, Spain, was held on Sunday evening (August 3) at the Dragao Stadium in Porto, where Diego Simeone's team lost by one goal to their hosts.
The only goal of the match was scored in the first minute of injury time of the first half by Victor Froholt, Porto's young striker, on a pass from Pepe. This was the 19-year-old's first goal with the senior team of Porto.
Atletico entered the field in the first half with a combination of main players and substitutes and went close to scoring on several occasions, but Porto's goalkeeper reacted well. Atletico's Argentine striker Julian Alvarez also received a yellow card in the 44th minute for a serious foul.
At the start of the second half, Diego Simeone made all his team's substitutions, bringing on Matteo Ruggeri, Pabil, Cuardos and Thiago Almada. However, the Spanish team's relative dominance of possession failed to break the deadlock, and Porto's solid defence prevented them from creating any serious chances.
This match is Atletico Madrid's first serious test of the 2025 summer pre-season, and the team's technical staff is trying to create the necessary coordination between the old and new players before the start of La Liga.
It is worth noting that more than 49,000 spectators watched this friendly match at the Dragao Stadium.
