Doing better than Club Brugge, that was the assignment for Porto coach Sergio Conceiçao and his men.
After only 5 minutes it was bingo. Taremi tapped Evanilson’s cross in from close range. Already the Iranian’s 5th goal in this Champions League.
Porto cheered a second time when Witsel lost sight of Eustaquio and the Canadian shot the ball into the shortest corner. Atletico goalkeeper Oblak prevented worse with 2 great foot reflexes.
After the coffee, Porto kept control of the match. Shortly after his substitute, Carrasco saw Griezmann kick the connecting goal into the net. But the whistle was blown for a serious foul by De Paul.
When the calf had drowned, Carrasco came close to scoring in extra time. The 2-1 eventually came after Marcano had extended a corner from Carrasco into his own goal.
Porto jumps to the group win thanks to this victory over Club Brugge. Atletico finishes last and thus still misses the Europa League.
