The intense match saw Porto take the lead through Gabri Veiga, who beat Benfica's goalkeeper Samuel Soares twice before scoring. Lenglet's red card, which was his second yellow card of the game, gave Porto the upper hand and allowed them to take control of the match. Voetbal International reports that Lenglet was sent off after he made contact with a teammate, who fell theatrically to the ground.

Despite being a man down, Benfica managed to equalise through Gianluca Prestianni, who provided a cross for Alexander Bah to score. However, Porto soon regained the lead through Victor Froholdt, and later added a third goal through In-beom Hwang.

The win marks Porto's seventh consecutive victory under Francesco Farioli, who has now achieved a record of winning 21 points from the first seven games of the season.
