UEFA Champions League: Porto 2-1 Juventus

In the UEFA Champions League round of 16, Porto have edged ahead against Juventus after a 2-1 victory in their first leg match in Portugal.

Porto needed less than two minutes to take the lead as Iranian striker, Mehdi Taremi pounced on Rodrigo Bentancur's poor back-pass to slide in and convert after only 63 seconds.

Then, it was Moussa Marega’s turn to double the advantage for the Portuguese side as he sent the ball into the bottom right-corner just 19 seconds into the second half.

For Juventus, Federico Chiesa pulled a goal back in the 82nd minute with a first-time shot inside the left post. The return leg of their last-16 tie will be on March the 9th in Allianz Stadium.
