An indecisive and spectacular match from start to finish.
At the end of the suspense, Porto defeated Cristiano Ronaldo's Juventus.
A fanfare start
The match starts off spectacularly.
Porto immediately takes the initiative.
After a breakthrough from Marega, the ball was badly repelled by the Turin defense, Matheus Uribe struck from the right from 18 meters.
The shot passes slightly to the left (1st).
Cuadrado responds with a cross placed on Morata's head.
Marchesin pushes back in extremis with his fist (3rd).
Marega is not left out.
The Franco-Malian is found in the deep goal on Szczesny (6th).
Then, on the left, Sanusi has fun with Cuardado and manages to center back.
Taremi resumes for the first time on Szczesny in front of his line, before the attacker once again heads up ... and on the bar (7th).
The match then in a late observation round.
Porto regained their high and intense pressing that stifled Juventus in the first leg.
However, the Turinese are not left out and are also trying to intercept the Portuguese raises in their own camp.
A midfield battle sets in until a penalty tilts the match for the first time.
Porto take the lead from the penalty spot
Served low to the ground by Marega, Taremi crumbles into the surface following a light touch from Demiral.
The referee indicates the penalty spot.
Oliveira transforms (18th, 0-1).
To win, Cristiano Ronald's teammates must then score three goals but do not let themselves be defeated.
Morata takes advantage of Manafa's approximation on a Cuadrado cross but misses his control.
He tries a crash shot but the angle is well closed by Marchesin (28th).
From then on, FC Porto fell back a notch and left possession to their opponents.
Juventus installs sterile domination, struggling to be really dangerous, contained by the compact block of the Blues.
The only exception was a corner from Cuardado headed by Morata, far from the goal.
The ball then drags in the area and is close to being caught by Bonucci, but Marchesin appears at the right time (41st).
Stunning Juventus
The second half starts as quickly as the first.
On one of the first actions, Bonnuci tries an opening behind the defense for Cristiano Ronaldo.
Back to the game, the Portuguese superstar slips to Chiesa who cleans the window of a rolled up (46th, 1-1).

Galvanized, Juventus pushes.
In the fall of a cross from the right of Cuadrado, Ramsey leans his head but Marchesin captures without fear (51st).
An arbitration decision will tip the match a second time.
After a first logical yellow card, Taremi receives a severe second, synonymous with expulsion, for clearing the ball after a whistle from the referee.
The Iranian rages as he leaves the field.
Found deep in the back of the defense, Chiesa headed around Marchesin and then tackled to extend into the goal.
But Pepe comes back from nowhere to save his family (57th).
Not for a long time.
Cuadrado places a caviar on Chiesa's head.
The Italian International just has to adjust to score a double (63rd, 2-1).
⚡ CHIESAAAAA !!!
The Italian's double, a header goal.
He is in full fluff the Turinese, he who had already scored in the first leg.
Juve overturned the table: for the moment, there will be extra time between Juventus and FC Porto, who have been playing at ten for ten minutes.

Stunned and reduced to 10, Porto FC does not admit defeat.
The Portuguese are showing a lot of solidarity to push back the black and white waves in the hope of winning over a counter.
Exactly: Uribe manages to slip the ball to Marega at the entrance to the box.
The Malian is preceded by Szczesny who better read the trajectory (74th).
Then, on the left, Luis Diaz plays Rabiot from a small bridge and finds Marega in the box.
With his back to goal, he leans on Demiral and places a low shot at the near post which passes right next to the post of Szczesny (85th).
Ghostly so far, Alvaro Morata is found deep in stoppage time and scored the winning goal ... signaled offside (90th + 1).
Then Cuadrado sends a heavy strike on the crossbar.
The goalkeeper was beaten (90th + 3).
Extensions to decide
The Portuguese, ten since the 54th minute, know they will have to bite the bullet.
Throwing their last strength into the battle, they even tried to surprise the Italians with a set piece.
Oliveira plays a short corner on Corona.
The Mexican turns around and sends a ladle to Marega.
The Malian international crushes his head too much to worry Szczesny (99th).
The match then turns into a rough battle.
Overwhelmed by fatigue, the players multiply the faults and Björn Kuipers is forced to take out the boxes to prevent the match from degenerating.
The match gets carried away one last time.
On a free kick, Oliveira deceives Szczesny and believes to give the victory to Porto (115th, 2-2) but the Portuguese club will tremble until the end while Rabiot responds with an angry head a minute later (117th, 3 -2).
At the end of extra time, De Ligt collapsed in the box.
The Turinese scream at the penalty but the referee points to the corner post.
Despite the three minutes of added time, Juventus Turin does not register the goal that it lacks.
The rule of the number of goals scored away has struck: despite a combined score of 4-4, the Italians and Cristiano Ronaldo are eliminated in the knockout stages of the Champions League.
Porto can savor their heroic match.
