FC Porto was defeated by Barcelona 39-37 in the semi-final of the Supertaça Ibérica, held in Vigo. Despite a weaker performance in the first half, Porto's players improved in the second, but it was not enough to secure victory.

From the fourth minute of the game, FC Porto was unable to take the lead on the scoreboard, even showing a good response in the second half. The Dragons demonstrated quality but faced difficulties in overcoming their opponent.

With this defeat, FC Porto misses out on a place in the final of the Supertaça Ibérica. The team's next engagement is scheduled for this Saturday, where they will fight for third place in the competition.

Barcelona showed dominance in the match, especially in the first half, which was reflected in the final score. FC Porto's performance in the second half, although better, was insufficient to ensure victory.

The competition now moves on to the final, where Barcelona will face the winner of the other semi-final, which has yet to be decided.
