In a Liga Portugal encounter on Saturday evening, Samuel Aghehowa once again put out a man-of-the-match performance, bagging a brace to propel FC Porto to a dominant 4-0 victory over Boavista.
This latest performance and remarkable form this season show why he’s the most exciting youngster in Europe’s top leagues, Footballrover reports.
Aghehowa’s clinical brace set the ball rolling
Samuel Aghehowa wasted no time making an impact, opening the scoring just 31 minutes into the match.
The 20-year-old forward latched onto a precise pass from Martim Fernandes, calmly finishing from close range to give Porto an early advantage.
A brief pause ensued as VAR reviewed the goal for a potential offside, but the referee ultimately confirmed it, sparking jubilant celebrations from Porto.
Late in the game, Aghehowa doubled his tally with a thunderous first-time strike in the 88th minute, courtesy of Nehuen Perez’s assist.
His clinical finishing and sharp positioning have now seen him deliver 18 goals this season, including 13 in the league, as he continues to show his presence in the penalty area.
Rising star: Aghehowa’s impressive stats shine
Aghehowa’s brace brought his tally to six goals in his last five matches, an extraordinary consistency for such a youngster.
Known for scoring all his goals within the penalty box, the Nigerian forward continues to turn heads across Europe.
Formerly known as Omorodion, Aghehowa’s rise has placed him firmly on the radar of elite clubs, making him a key asset for FC Porto.
Porto’s dominance extends beyond Aghehowa
While Aghehowa stole the spotlight, FC Porto’s collective performance ensured a comprehensive victory.
Nico doubled the lead with a superb strike early in the second half, while Rodrigo Mora added a third with a solo counter-attack.
Aghehowa’s second goal sealed the 4-0 triumph, extending Porto’s unbeaten run to five matches, including four consecutive wins.
This victory temporarily placed Porto atop the Liga Portugal standings, two points ahead of Benfica, who have yet to play.
