Porto beat Vitoria de Setubal thanks to Vincent Aboubakar, Miguel Layun goals

Aboubakar strikes to keep Porto second

Vincent Aboubakar scored his first goal in three games to help Porto record a 2-0 win over Vitoria de Setubal this evening.

The Cameroonian striker converted deep in the second half to break the deadlock and keep pressure on Sporting Lisbon at the top of the table, before Miguel Layun helped wrap up the three points.

It was all Porto in the first half as Danilo headed wide before Aboubakar dragged his shot to the left of the goal.

Aboubakar and Ivan Marcano then headed over, before Layun's free kick sailed over the crossbar as Porto ended the half on top.

Andre Andre smashed a shot over as the home side began the second half the same way they ended the first, with Vitoria failing to grab a foothold in the game and trouble the Porto defence or Iker Casillas.

Aboubakar then struck 20 minutes from time after being played in by Layun down the left, before the Mexican turned recipient to lash a goal into the bottom corner from just outside the box.

Porto now sit in second in the Primeira Liga, two points behind Lisbon, while Vitoria remain in eighth.
