Arsenal loanee Fabio Vieira helped Porto to a vital win over Moreirense on Friday, providing an assist as his team climbed the table into third.
Porto have already missed out on Champions League qualification, so the remainder of their season is focused entirely on securing a third-place finish and Europa League football for next season.
Their task was made more difficult in the early stages of Friday’s game against Moreirense, with Yan Maranhao giving the away side the lead. But Arsenal’s Vieira got his team back into the contest by assisting Francisco Moura’s equaliser in the 40th minute.

It was a nicely-weighted cross off Vieira’s weaker right foot to the back post, giving Moura a simple headed finish for 1-1.
Porto went on to score twice in the second half and win 3-1. With SC Braga then drawing against Santa Clara on Saturday, Porto remain third in the league on goal difference.

Vieira now has five goals and five assists for Porto this season, putting him in double figures for direct goal contributions. The 24-year-old has had a consistent run of starts lately, and he’ll want to help his loan side over the line in their final two league fixtures.
