Goodbye to the Europa League? Taremi puts Porto ahead

Atletico Madrid needed to win to gaurantee a spot in the Europa League. However, the match started in the worst possible way for the Madrid side, after having to fish the ball out of their own net after five minutes.

Mehdi Taremi made it 1-0, which means that, as it stands, Porto are top of the group with Atletico occupying bottom spot, and out of any European competition.

Pepe found a hole in the Atletico defence. He threaded the ball through to meet a running Evanilson, who received it thanks to Gimenez' passive defending.

Nobody went with the Porto man, who had a scuffed shot. The ball went through Gimenez' legs, Savic was left watching and Nahuel Molina did not get there in time. Taremi, just in the 6-yard box stuck his foot out to make it 1-0.
