After 42 years, Pinto da Costa was defeated and would leave the throne of Porto. At the exit of the Estádio do Dragão, dozens of fans waited for the Porto club president's car, forcing the police to intervene.
Pinto da Costa, the losing candidate in the FC Porto presidential elections, has already left the Dragao Stadium with his accompanying delegation, amid the applause of dozens of fans.
The leader, who did not make any statements to the media upon leaving the stadium, found many fans waiting for him when he left the stadium to offer him words of encouragement and sing various songs.
The crowd surrounded the car in which Pinto de Costa was traveling, making it difficult for him to get out, in an attempt to greet the leader, and the presence of police forces was necessary to open a passage.
In addition to Pinto da Costa, several members of List A also left the Estadio Dragao, such as Vitor Bailla, who has already conceded electoral defeat, or João Rafael Kohler, who was a candidate for the position of vice president of the club.
Despite the overwhelming salute to the leader, there is no record of brawls outside Porto's stadium, which is still guarded by Socialist police in the surrounding area.
