Porto 3-1 Roma: Report, Ratings & Reaction as Extra Time Penalty Sends Porto Into Last 8

Porto deservedly booked their place in the UEFA Champions League quarter finals after beating Roma 4-3 on aggregate.

Porto had dominated possession and been impressive on the counter for the first 25 minutes before a goal eventually came. Moussa Marega dispossessed Konstantinos Manolas just inside Roma’s half, allowing Jesus Corona to burst forward. The Mexican winger played a neat pass to the overlapping Marega who squared it nicely for Tiquinho to tap home from close range.

Roma claimed their goal from nothing 10 minutes later. A poorly timed tackle in the box from Eder Miltao on Perotti gave the referee no option but to point to the spot.
