Live

77′: We had a few changes on both sides. With the blow that the Bruges took on the head and the defensive solidity of the Portuguese, it is difficult to see Bruges reversing the trend in a quarter of an hour.

72′: The people of Bruges are no longer everything in the game. As soon as Porto picks up the pace, no one follows. We are close to 0-5 but Mignolet relaxes well.

70′: Double Iranian striker Taremi. Brugge loses 0-4! The Portuguese wash away the affront of the first leg where they lost 0-4…

68 ‘: The intensity has dropped a little and fortunately for the Bruges who took a big blow to the head.

60 ‘: It turns to the correction, Porto registers the 3rd but ! Bruges takes on water.

56′: Aye aye aye. WOW from Porto!

52′: Noah Lang takes the penalty and misses it too! It’s crazy ! The Portuguese goalkeeper fends off the powerful shot on the bar. What a game sequence!

51′: We’re going to give the penalty again! Unbelievable. The keeper is accused of moving too early, but kept his foot on the line well. Mind-blowing!

50′: It’s missed! Diego Costa fends off Vanaken’s shot, the score remains at 0-1.

49′: PENALTY! David Carmo had a silly gesture on Mechele which provoked a penalty after the referee checked.

48′: OH! Potential penalty for Bruges! The referee will check the VAR.

46 ‘: We hope that Carl Hoefkens’ speech will have stirred the players of Bruges and that they are ready because here we go again!

For the little info, Bruges lasted 392 minutes in this Champions League before conceding their first goal. It is enormous.

Half time! The people of Bruges proved to be too little dangerous in this first period and Porto deservedly leads the score. Everything is possible in the last 45 minutes to come.

45+1′: Too bad for Bruges! Skov Olsen receives a superb pass and rushes towards the goal, he shifts to send a cross. But the defense came back very well and prevented the ball from reaching the feet of Bruges.

45′: There will be two minutes of added time.

43 ‘: It’s still grimace soup in the Bruges rectangle. Two Porto players collapse on small contacts, but the referee is well placed and lets the game continue. Skov Olsen goes on the counterattack, but his center is blocked.

38 ‘: Bruges wants to react, but struggles to do so. We see some flashes, but overall they don’t manage to be very dangerous.

32′: And there it is! WOW for Porto. Brugge concede their first goal in this competition after 4 games and 32 minutes. A bright pass pierced two Bruges lines to find Taremi who rolled up the ball and opened the scoring.

30′: We are at half an hour and we can honestly say that the first 30 minutes were very pleasant! We have intensity, thrill, fouls and cards. Now for the goals.

29 ‘: Eustaquio also takes a yellow card for a jersey draw after taking a small bridge.

28′: Yellow card for Denis Odoi. The Brugeois is late and puts his foot on that of an opponent, it is deserved. The card has consequences as he will miss the last game against Leverkusen.

25′: The football gods are with the people of Bruges tonight. An extremely dangerous Portuguese shot in the rectangle of Bruges is deflected by… Another Porto player! The ball does not want to enter the nets of Simon Mignolet. It’s tasty, they have a crazy chance and must enjoy it.

24 ‘: In loss of ball, Bruges will not press beyond the center line. This gives the Portuguese the opportunity to build from behind.

18′: We are living a moment of madness! This time, the occasion is Bruges. Olsen sends a very well placed cross over the head of Jutgla, but Diego Costa, the Portuguese goalkeeper, intervenes very well.

17′: That’s not true!? Very strong time for Porto who created opportunity after opportunity. Another face-to-face with the ball which is sent over the frame. Brugge are very lucky, Porto are really clumsy.

16′: Very hot corner for Porto! Mignolet still decisive with a parade prevents his team from cashing for the first time in the competition.

15′: WOW! Big mic mac in the small Bruges rectangle, the ball goes out for a corner but for the same price it came in.

14 ‘: Bruges inherits a free kick along the touchline at 35 meters. The ball is sent into the rectangle, but pushed back by the defense.

12 ‘: Not too many clear chances since the Portuguese waste. The two teams are equal.

6′: First chance for the Portuguese! Eustaquio finds himself alone against Mignolet in the rectangle and sends the ball over the frame.

5 ‘: Proto connects two corners in a row, but does nothing. Mignolet seizes the ball and raises Skov Olsen, who will lose the ball a little further.

2′: The people of Bruges start the match as usual: with confidence and determination. From what we see from the first seconds, the match promises to be exciting.

0′: Let’s go friends! The score is 0-0 and Brugge are virtually first in their group for good!

Hello everyone, welcome to this live! We are about to experience a legendary evening for Belgian football. If Club Brugge takes a point tonight against Porto, the Belgians will finish the group stage in first place in their group. A feat that no Belgian club has yet achieved. Suffice to say that the atmosphere will be boiling at the Jan Breydel, the stadium of Bruges.

The essays

To replace suspended Kamal Sowah, Carl Hoefkens has decided to offer Noa Lang his first minutes of play in the Champions League against FC Porto on Wednesday evening.

Holder in the first four group matches, Sowah was excluded (two yellow cards) a fortnight ago during the trip to Atlético de Madrid where Club Brugge snatched their qualification for the round of 16 (0-0) . Sowah’s replacement with Lang is the only change Hoefkens has made from the starting squad in Madrid.

Simon Mignolet will have in front of him the defensive trio composed of Mechele, Sylla and Odoi. Nielsen and Onyedika must balance the midfield in support of Vanaken while Skov Olsen and Buchanan will survey the flanks. In attack, Lang will be associated with Jutgla.

Compared to the team that drew 2-2 at Union last Saturday, Boyata and Meijer gave way to Sylla (suspended in the league) and Lang.

FC Porto are without captain Pepe with a knee injury. Fabio Cardoso will take his place in the center of defence.
