Inter Milan 1-0 Porto - Late Romelu Lukaku strike puts Porto on the ... (PortuGOAL.net)

Porto have a deficit to overturn after suffering a 1-0 defeat against Inter Milan in the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 first leg.

Otávio almost instigated a brawl, has been booked and is no chance of getting to the final whistle. Galeno headed wide after Grujić's shot was saved and Diogo Costa made a fantastic save in added time. It’s far from over, the Dragons well and truly in the tie with their supporters sure to fire up and play their part in Portugal. Mateus Uribe, Otávio and Galeno returned from injury to provide a big boost, but in the end Galeno had minimal impact and lasted only 51 minutes, Otávio walking a tightrope after a needless booking in the first half and paying the price with his late dismissal. The match took a big turn in the 78th minute when Çalhanoğlu skipped infield to find space for a shot, Otávio taking the bait and sent off after receiving his second yellow card. The Dragons went close in the 57th minute and were holding their own at a jam-packed San Siro before Otávio was sent off for a second booking in the 78th minute.
