The match
THE Porto she came into the game determined and was in control of the match, pushing her Barcelona which had not found its footing in the first minutes. Somehow, the visitors opened the scoring in the 30th minute with Pepea goal that… woke up Xavi’s team and shook them.
Two minutes later, then Joao Cancelo he leveled the match with a very nice diagonal shot, with the home team then gaining control and the two teams going into the dressing room tied (1-1).
Barcelona entered the second half strongly and constantly threatened the opponent’s goal. THE Joao Felix in the 57th minute he made it 2-1, after a nice pass Cancello. Afterwards, the Blaugrana pressed, with Porto mainly playing on the counter-attacks, where they became quite dangerous.
Until the final whistle, however, nothing changed with her Barca to be in the “16” of the top inter-club competition after two whole years!
