The team failed to hold its lead. Still, the name of a substitute appeared near the top of the ratings table. Porto lost 2-3 to Real Betis in the Champions League league phase on October 14, 2026 (local time). In the same match, Hwang In-beom received a rating tied for second on the team from Portuguese outlet Dia de Jogo. It was a day when the team result and individual assessment went in completely opposite directions.

Betis 3-2 Porto: A Comeback Loss After Porto Led 2-1

Spanish broadcaster Cadena SER’s match summary shows control changed hands twice. Porto, trailing, turned the game around with goals from Gabri Veiga and Samu. Matching the final score with the scorers suggests Betis scored first and Porto scored two goals to make it 2-1. The lead did not last long.

Betis equalized to make it 2-2 through a goal by Cucho Hernández. Isco then converted a penalty kick to end the match 3-2. El País, a Spanish daily, also reported the same result in its match coverage. For Porto, it was a comeback loss after failing to hold a lead.

Hwang In-beom played 19 minutes, substituted for Gabri Veiga in the 26th minute of the second half

Hwang In-beom’s connection with Porto began three months ago. Yonhap News reported on July 21 that he left Feyenoord and signed with Porto on a base contract of three years with a one-year option.

Star News reported that Hwang In-beom came on for Gabri Veiga in the 26th minute of the second half. The 26th minute of the second half is the 71st minute of the match. Subtracting 71 minutes from the 90-minute regulation time leaves 19 minutes remaining. This exactly matches the playing time listed in the original Dia de Jogo article. However, it has not been confirmed whether this includes stoppage time.

Hwang In-beom Rated 6.8, Tied for Second; 11 of 12 Passes Completed

Dia de Jogo’s rating table, Porto’s top player was Samu with 7.2 points. Hwang In-beom, alongside Martim Fernandes, received a rating of 6.8 points. The article’s writer, Vasco Landim, wrote in his October 14 piece that Hwang “played only 19 minutes, but did not waste a single one of them.” This phrase is an evaluative sentence in the article, not a quote from the player himself.

Dia de Jogo Porto Ratings vs. Betis, Top 5 Players (as of 2026.10.14)

Rank	Player	Rating (points)	Notes
1	Samu	7.2	Goal
2	Martim Fernandes	6.8	Tied for 2nd
2	Hwang In-beom	6.8	Tied for 2nd, substitute appearance
4	Oskar Pietuszewski	6.7	Tied for 4th
4	Pepe	6.7	Tied for 4th

The basis for the praise lies in the detailed stats. The same original article recorded Hwang In-beom’s passing as 11 of 12 completed, and recorded 2 wins from 3 duels. Dividing 11 by 12 gives a pass completion rate of about 91.7%. Dividing his 19 minutes of playing time (1,140 seconds) by 11 successful passes works out to one completed pass about every 1 minute 44 seconds.

Ratings differ by outlet. Star News separately cited the statistics site FotMob, which gave him 6.7 points. Being tied for second is also just one outlet’s match evaluation, not a season ranking. The playing time, ratings, and passing records were confirmed in the original local article, but they have not been cross-checked against independent official match records.

Porto gave up a lead of 2-1 and failed to pick up points. Hwang In-beom received local praise for making the most of his short time on the pitch.
