Porto made Juventus bow their heads

Cristiano Ronaldo was focused and charged during the performance of the anthem prior to the Champions League game. It is a matter of honor to return to his homeland, and even to a duel with the irreconcilable rival of his native Sporting. But the start of the match clearly silenced the superstar’s wick.

Already in the second minute, Bentancourt made a fantastic mistake – the Uruguayan gave a pass without looking at Schesny and Taremi opened the scoring in the fall – 1: 0!

It seemed that Juve would take control of the ball and quickly correct the offensive misunderstanding. But that was not the case, Porto turned out to be quite good on defense and did not allow the guests to create a single opportunity in the first half.

After the break, the fantastic developments began to look more like the mystics. Again, less than two minutes have passed since the start of time and once again Juve conceded a goal. The hosts’ first attack: a breakthrough with the right flank and Marega hit Shchesny a second time.

However, in the 82nd minute, Pirlo’s men had the strength and skill to score a much-needed goal. Rabiot shot from the left wing at Chiesa and the latter shot Márquezin with one touch.

2-1 and in the second leg, which will take place on March 9 in Turin, the Portuguese will have to play their best to advance. Although, if Juventus continue to make such mistakes on their doorstep, Porto can be satisfied with the minimum already achieved.
