Throughout the match, Portuguese Joao Felix, who was in the starting lineup along with his compatriot Joao Cancelo, was booed by Porto fans. The ex-Benfica player was replaced in the 69th minute.
Throughout the second half, Porto tried to respond to the deficit on the scoreboard. In the 78th minute, the Dragons celebrated victory for the first time when the referee awarded a penalty for Cancelo’s hand in the Barcelona penalty area. Called in to review the move, VAR overturned the decision.
The fans packed into Dragao celebrated again when, in the 83rd minute, Mehdi Taremi sent the ball into the net with an artistic bicycle kick.
