Benfica's Oscar Cardozo has never scored in Porto – Primeira Liga News
Benfica’s Oscar Cardozo has never scored in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Porto-c39186’s Estadio do Dragao, according to an amazing statistic. But with the derby looming ever closer, he has another opportunity to get on the score sheet against the champions.
Estadio da Luz star, Oscar Cardozo, is arguably one of the best players in the Primeira Liga today. The attacker is not only mercilessly prolific, but is also able to set-up his teammates with his creative vision.
Definitely the most potent attacking weapon Benfica possess, the forward has bags of quality up his sleeve is simply unplayable on his day.
His undoubted abilities have been tried and tested against the cream of Europe and his reputation has gone unscathed. One such account was the Eagle’s game against Manchester United.
With the score-line tied at 0-0, Cardozo sweetly controlled a long ball from Gaitan with his left foot and in a single motion, used his other foot to blast the ball past the helpless http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Anders-Lindegaard-c5553. His goal did not only break the deadlock but also pumped
the home side on and in the end, Sir Alex Ferguson’s men were lucky to have escaped with a point.
However, despite his talents and uncanny ability to conjure something out of nothing, Oscar Cardozo has so far unable to unleash his fury against the club’s most bitter rivals, FC Porto.
In all the games the Paraguayan has played at Estadio do Dragao, he has never managed to find the back of the net. Even at home, he has never compounded the Portistas with his plethora of skills and usually lacks his killer instincts whenever he plays them.
Even when the Reds demolished the Dragons 3-0 in a cup game a few seasons ago, Cardozo was unable to produce a sublime display, much to the chagrin of the fans.
This weekend, however, Portugal’s greatest rivalry is going to be renewed at Estadio do Dragao, when the two giants go head-to-head.
The tantalizing encounter on Saturday will be another opportunity for Oscar Cardozo to show the rest of the league that he is one of the best players in Europe, no matter against whom he is playing.
