Porto's Hwang In-beom marks league debut with assist in 2-0 win

South Korean midfielder Hwang In-beom has made a strong start to his career with Portuguese club FC Porto, recording his first assist in his league debut on August 16. The 30-year-old joined Porto last month and played a key role in his team's 2-0 victory over Rio Ave in the second round of the Portuguese Primeira Liga.

Hwang began the match on the bench but was substituted into the game in the 66th minute. In the 84th minute, he received a pass from Denis Guedes, turned, and delivered a precise through ball to Borja Sainz, who converted it into the net for Porto's second goal. This decisive assist capped off a successful league debut for the midfielder.

This was Hwang's second official appearance for Porto, following his debut in the Portuguese Super Cup against SCU Torreense on August 2, where he also came on as a substitute. He missed the league's opening match but has now marked his presence in the league with an attacking contribution in just his second official game. The assist signifies a promising start for Hwang in Portugal.

FC Porto, the defending champions, have started their league campaign strongly, securing two consecutive wins without conceding a goal. With six points from their opening two matches, they currently sit at the top of the league standings, setting a positive tone for the season ahead.
