Porto progress as Atletico frustrated

PORTO ensured Atletico Madrid followed their city neighbours Real out of the Champions League after playing out a goalless draw against the Spanish side at the Estadio do Dragao.

After recording a 2-2 draw from the first leg at the Vicente Calderon, Porto always held the upper hand and although they were unable to make the breakthrough, Jesualdo Ferreira’s men still progressed through to the quarter-finals on the away goals rule.

Like the first leg, Porto created the better of the chances and although the Atletico defence made a much better fist of handling the Portuguese’s impressive strike duo of Hulk and Lisandro than they did in Spain, both players hit the woodwork late on.
