End of match

  • Finished
    AET Porto 3-1 Roma (agg 4-3)!!!!!! Porto through after a superb game. The hosts deserved to go through based on tonight's performance, but they needed a VAR penalty converted by Telles to book their spot in their next round. Florenzi gave a way a penalty for an unnecessary shirt pull and Dzeko will rue those two glorious chances he missed in the second period of ET. That's all of us. Thanks for reading our commentary and see you next time!
  • Finished
    Ball into the box is headed away by Felipe and then a second one is sent in, Casillas jumps for it, can't claim it and Porto manage to finally scramble it away.
  • Finished
    Porto trying to keep the ball, but Roma will have one last chance!!
  • Finished
    Olsen's clearance is charged down and Porto almost score!! Then Hernani shoots over!!!
  • Finished
    30 seconds left, but there will be at least another minute for the VAR stoppage.
  • Finished
    VAR says play on!!!
  • Finished
    VAR again!!! For a possible penalty to Roma!! If it's a foul, it's a penalty, but there doesn't look anything in it. Maybe an accidental contact, but not a penalty. He clips his own feet for me.
  • 120'
    3 added mins!
  • 120'
    Chance for Roma!!! Perotti crosses and Pepe knocks it for a corner!
  • 117'
    Telles was booked for removing his shirt.
  • 116'
    Telles v Olsen!!! Who will win the battle?? It's Telles who wins!! Goal for Porto!!!!! He sent Olsen the wrong way from the spot and Roma need a goal to win the tie.
  • 115'
    Penalty to Porto thanks to the VAR!!! Florenzi sees yellow and Roma can't believe it! It's the right decision for me. Defenders can't pull shirts with VAR in play.
  • 113'
    We have VAR!!! It looks a pen!!! The ref has gone himself!!! He should give a penalty in my opinion.
  • 112'
    What a dangerous ball in by Brahimi! Andrade felt his shirt was pulled by Brahimi and it could be a penalty!
  • 111'
    Off the line by Porto!!!!!! Dzeko was through one on one, he chipped the goalkeeper and Maxi Pereira got back to clear off the line!
  • 110'
    What a golden opportunity for Dzeko! He turned past Felipe, but he smacked it over the bar.
  • 110'
    The second period is much more lively than the first. Both teams attacking now.
  • 109'
    Dzeko heads wide the corner from Kolarov
  • 108'
    Corner for Roma! They have changed their strategy now!
  • 106'
    Back underway!
  • 105'
    HT in Extra time! As you were. Porto better, but doesn't look like there will be a goal. Roma have started to pick up a bit in the last couple of mins though.
  • 105'
    1 added minute.
  • 104'
    Roma have started to have a go now as well it seems, They are seeing a bit of ball now.

at Porto
  • 103'
    Porto sub: Maxi Pereira comes on to replace Militao, who committed the penalty.
  • 102'
    Big shout for a penalty for the home team but nothing given! Was a small shirt pull, but not much to be honest.
  • 100'
    Corner to Porto! It ends up in the hands of the Roma gk.
  • 97'
    No major chances really in extra time apart from that Marega one. Porto showing more attacking threat, but I think both teams are playing not to lose. Roma are definitely playing for penalties.
Substitution

  • 94'
    Dzeko is caught offside! Was tight. Didn't look it actually.
  • 94'
    Chance for Porto! Marega blazes over a pass from Telles.

End of match

End of match

  • 90'
    End of regulation! Injury time was quiet and we have gone to extra time! Remember that away goals still applies in extra time so if Roma score, Porto would need 2. Bit unfair for away goals to count in extra time, but anyway.
  • 90'
    Three minutes of injury time
  • 89'
    Dangerous free kick for Roma on the edge of the box! After a long wait, the free kick is headed away by the wall.
  • 86'
    Foul on the Roma gk!
  • 84'
    Porto still going for it in the final few minutes of normal time. Roma are also having the odd dangerous attack.
  • 83'
    Another save by Olsen to deny Otavio from long distance!
  • 82'
    Perotti shoots wide for Roma after a defensive error by Pepe. Zaniolo was free, but he didn't see him!
Card

Yellow card

a Roma
  • 81'
    Yellow card to Pellegrini! Late challenge on Soares.
  • 79'
    Comedy in Porto! Conceicao falls over by the Porto dugout when trying to control the ball!
  • 77'
    What a save!!! What a great save!!! Brahimi connected with a volley from just outside the box and Olsen prevented the goal with his legs.
Substitution

Substitution

at Roma
  • 76'
    Roma sub: Marcano can't continue and Cristante enters the scene. Roma are out of changes now until extra time.
  • 73'
    Marcano went down with cramp, but he's up now.
Substitution

Substitution

at Porto
  • 69'
    Porto sub: Corona leaves the field and Brahimi comes on. Corona has had a very good game.
  • 68'
    First chance for Roma for a while! Dzeko tries his luck. Unfortunately for him it was well off target.
  • 65'
    Corner for the hosts! Telles got his head on the end of the corner, but the bounce of the ball took it over the crossbar.
  • 62'
    Porto still on top here. If there is going to be a goal, it will be Porto although both teams may settle for extra time if it stays as it is for another 15 minutes. If Roma score, Porto would need 2.
  • 59'
    16 shots to 5 in favour of Porto, 5 on target to Roma's one and 59% possession for the Portuguese outfit.
  • 58'
    Pepe misses the next game by the way
  • 57'
    Both players saw yellow for confronting each other. Dzeko should be ashamed of himself. Pathetic. VAR would surely have rescinded Pepe's red had he seen it. Dzeko deserved a yellow just for the terrible bit of acting!
  • 57'
    Tension on the pitch! Dzeko goes down and there is a bit of pushing and shoving!! Pepe and Dzeko put their heads together and Dzeko all of a sudden went down as if he had been shot. Ridiculous by the Bosnian.
  • 54'
    A reminder that if there are no more goals, we will go to extra time although I have to say that looks unlikely at the moment. Porto are hungry for more. Roma need to stop the game somehow.
  • 53'
    Roma sub: Florenzi on for Karsdorp.
  • 52'
    Yellow for Karsdorp for a tackle from behind on Corona.
  • 51'
    Goal for Porto!!!!! Marega scores and the home crowd are jubilant!!!! A ball was delivered into the box by Corona from the far side, the Malian ran onto the pass to hit home from point-blank range. Olsen had no chance. You have to say it was coming. That's his sixth goal in seven CL games.
  • 50'
    Another chance for Porto!!! Marega megs the defender with the shot, Olsen sees it late and diverts it for a corner. Porto looking more likely to score at the moment.
  • 49'
    What a chance for Porto!! Pepe sent in a very dangerous cross from the near side, Marega flicked it on with his head, but it could have actually put off Soares at the far post who had jumped forward to head it. His header bounced into the ground and over the bar!
  • 48'
    Roma have started the second period positively. Porto have now had an attack as well, but Roma have managed to keep them outside the area.
  • 47'
    There were no changes at the break.
  • 46'
    Welcome back everybody!!! Porto have got us back underway here!!!
  • 45'
    HT: Porto 1-1 Roma (agg 2-3). Half time in Porto after more than four minutes of stoppage time! A very exciting first period. Porto dominated the first 20 minutes, but Roma then started to come into the game. Porto scored through Soares in the 26th minute and De Rossi equalised from a penalty after a rash challenge by Militao. Since then, it has been stop-start and Porto are starting to show signs of frustration. All to play for after the break!

at Roma
  • 45'
    Roma sub: Pellegrini on and De Rossi. De Rossi was unable to continue and had to limp off. Been very stop-start in injury time.
Card

Yellow card

a Porto
  • 45'
    Yellow to Porto! Danilo sees yellow for an off the ball incident with De Rossi. The Porto player wasn't happy with the decision.
  • 45'
    Two minutes to be added on
  • 45'
    Great save by Olsen!!! Soares tried to turn inside the box, he couldn't, but Herrera hit it from outside the area. Olsen dived to his left to send the ball for a corner.
  • 42'
    Porto attack from this near side once again through Corona, but it found a Roma head.
  • 41'
    It's still very open here. There looks to be more goals in this. Can't say who will be going through.
  • 37'
    It's Roma now who would be going through. However, one Porto goal would send us to extra time. If Roma find the net again, Porto would need 3.
  • 36'
    Goal for Roma!!! De Rossi makes no mistake from the spot!! He stuttered in his run-up and then sent Casillas the wrong way from the spot. Casillas dived to his left. A setback for the hosts.
  • 35'
    Penalty to Roma!!!!! Perotti was clearly brought down by Militao!!! Stone wall and the ref was perfectly placed to see it.
  • 32'
    Corner for Porto!! It was cleared away easily.
  • 30'
    63% of possession for Porto and 7 shots to 1 for the hosts.
  • 30'
    Roma are starting to throw more men forward now! They have to obviously.
  • 29'
    Roma need a goal now or they are going home!
  • 27'
    Being checked by VAR!!! For a possible foul and an offside, but the goal stands!!! It is 1-0!!!! The steal looked clean, but a bit debatable. Soares wasn't off because he looked to be just behind the ball.
Goal
Goaaaaaal!
de Porto en el 26'
  • 26'
    It's in!!!!!!!! Goal for Porto!!! Soares scores. An element of controversy over the goal because Marega may have committed a foul in the build up on Manolas, Play went on, Corona passed the ball for Marega who then squared for Soares to tap in.
  • 25'
    Kolarov fouls Otavio and a stray arm looks to catch him possibly in the face. The ref gives the free kick. Porto wanted a card, but it wasn't to be.
  • 23'
    Porto are definitely the more dangerous, but it looks like Roma have overcome the worst of it (at least for now).
  • 21'
    Corona has a go from 25 yards out!!! Unfortunately for him, the shot was too hard and Olsen was untroubled.
  • 20'
    Back to back corners for the away side!!! The second corner reached the far post, Casillas came and parried it and the defence cleared.
  • 19'
    Manolas forces a corner from the free kick,.
Card

Yellow card

a Porto
  • 18'
    Yellow card for Herrera!!! He slid in and clearly brought down Kolarov. An expensive booking because he will miss the next game!!
  • 17'
    Porto clearly looking the more likely to open the scoring here. Roma need to try and hold on and weather this storm.
  • 16'
    The free kick into the box is disappointing.
Card

Yellow card

a Roma
  • 15'
    Zaniolo goes in the book for a clear pull back on Soares.
  • 13'
    Telles with a ball in, it's cut out, the ball drops to Marega, but it goes wide of the goal.
  • 12'
    Important block by Manolas to prevent Soares attempt from outside the box finding the target.
  • 10'
    What a great chance for Porto!!! Super skill by Danilo in the build up, Corona cut across from this near side, his shot was blocked. The ball then fell to Telles, but his effort struck the side netting.
  • 8'
    Kolarov goes down holding his chest. He looks to be winded, but he should be able to carry on.
  • 7'
    Another dangerous move by Porto!! Otavio sent in a cross looking for a teammate, but Olsen caught it at the second attempt.
  • 4'
    Great run by Perotti, but the pass to Dzeko was underhit and the Porto defence cleared the danger.
  • 3'
    There looks goals in this one. Porto have come out look for the goal they need right from the first whistle.
  • 2'
    Chance for Porto!!!! Telles delivered the corner, a Roma head cleared it. However, it only fell to Jesus Corona on the edge of the box. The Mexican hit a powerful volley, but the ball went just over.
  • 1'
    Porto have now gone up the other end and made the Roma defence clear. Fast start.
  • 1'
    Dangerous free kick already for Roma after Kolarov was fouled!!! Nothing came of it though
  • 1'
    In play!!!! Roma got you underway and are shooting from left to right.

Start of match

    No less than four Porto players are a booking away from suspension. Pepe, Militao, Otavio and the captain Herrera will miss the 1st leg of the quarter-final if they see yellow. Roma have nobody in that situation.
  • PRVW
    The CL anthem has been played and were are almost ready for play!!
  • PRVW
    The players are now out on the pitch!!! There is a huge banner which says "gladiadores" (gladiators) hanging from one of the stands behind the goal.
  • PRVW
    The referee for tonight's game is the experienced Cuneyt Cakir from Turkey while Szymon Marciniak of Poland leads the VAR team which is based just outside the stadium.
  • PRVW
    Almost ready for kick off now in Northern Portugal. It's 11 degrees in Porto this evening.
  • PRVW
    Both teams are looking to bounce back from disappointing weekend results. Porto were knocked off top spot in Portugal by arch rivals Benfica after losing 1-2 in a bad tempered game whereas Roma were defeated 3-0 in the Rome derby versus Lazio.
  • PRVW
    The tie is evenly poised in Portugal after Roma won in Italy by two goals to one. Porto know they only need one goal to progress so it's all to play for! We could even have extra-time!!
  • PRVW
    There's good news for Porto as Malian striker Moussa Marega starts tonight after the missing the game in the Olimpico through injury. Cengiz Under was a doubt for tonight's game for the away team and the Turk finally doesn't make it in time.
  • PRVW
    Here is the visiting line-up for tonight's game. Roma XI: Olsen (GK); Juan Jesus, Manolas, Marcano; Karsdorp, Nzonzi, De Rossi, Kolarov; Zaniolo, Dzeko, Perotti
