Canadians in Europe: Eustáquio debuts in Porto win

It was a weekend to remember for Stephen Eustáquio and one to forget for Jonathan David. The former made his debut for his new club, while the latter and his team were at the wrong end of a drubbing.

Here's a look at how some Canadians in Europe fared over the weekend.

Stephen Eustáquio, Porto - After completing his loan move from Pacos prior to the international break, the 26-year-old Leamington, Ont. got his first run out in a Porto shirt on Sunday at Arouca. Eustáquio came on as a 78th-minute substitute for Fabio Vieira. In his 13 minutes of action, Eustáquio won three tackles had a shot on goal and was carded in stoppage time for a foul. Porto won the match 2-0 on two second-half goals in a four-minute span from Vitinha and Chancel Mbemba.

Next up for Eustáquio and Porto is a home date with Sporting on Friday before a Europa League fixture next Thursday at home to Lazio.
