Porto Vs Arouca: Djouahra’s 70th‑Minute Equalizer Levels Match after Pietuszewski’s Rapid Strike and VAR Intervention
In the match billed as porto vs arouca, Djouahra struck in the 70th minute to make it 1-1, while an earlier goal by Pietuszewski was notable for equalling the fastest goal in FC Porto history after a curious kickoff, a collision with the post and a VAR intervention. The sequence of events left both teams level and produced contentious moments that required video review.
Porto Vs Arouca: Djouahra’s 70th‑Minute equalizer
At minute 70 the scoreboard read 1-1 after Djouahra converted a chance created when a preceding effort was intercepted and fell into his path. The buildup began with a shot from Trezza that was intercepted; the loose ball dropped to Djouahra a few metres from the penalty area and he struck it first‑time. The finish left goalkeeper Diogo Costa without reaction and produced the leveller that wiped out the lead.
Trezza interception set up Djouahra chance
The immediate cause of the equalizer was Trezza’s attempt being intercepted: that deflection or interception put the ball at Djouahra’s feet in close range. Because Djouahra shot immediately, the rapid transition prevented the defensive reorganization that might otherwise have blocked the attempt. The effect was decisive—Diogo Costa was beaten and the match was drawn level.
Pietuszewski’s kickoff goal matched club record
Earlier in the contest, Pietuszewski scored what is described as a goal that equals the fastest in FC Porto’s history. The play began directly from the restart, a curious exit of the ball from kickoff that led to a sequence culminating in a strike which collided with the post. That collision was followed by video review; VAR was decisive in confirming the goal, and the goal now stands alongside the club’s quickest in the record books.
Diogo Costa, the post and the VAR decision
Diogo Costa faced two contrasting moments: first the chaotic early strike involving Pietuszewski that hit the post and required VAR confirmation, then the calm‑finishing Djouahra shot in minute 70 that left him without reaction. The interplay of a physical collision with the post and the technological intervention of VAR produced two separate effects on the match narrative—one that briefly unsettled the scoreboard pending review and one that ultimately altered the match’s momentum when the equalizer was scored.

With both sides level after these sequences, the immediate consequence is a shared point from the fixture and a match record containing a minute 70 equalizer, an early goal equalling a club record, a post collision and a VAR decision that confirmed the earlier strike.
