Champions' League, semi-final second leg
Deportivo La Coruña 0 - Porto 1
Deportivo La
Coruña are out of the Champions' League after losing at home to
Porto. Irureta's side were favourites to go through after a 0-0 draw in
the first leg, but they were outplayed for much of the match by a well
organised opponent. Things could have been different if Valerón had not
missed the easiest of chances shortly before half time, but Porto could have
taken the lead themselves when Derlei headed against the post immediately after
the restart. The only goal came on the hour mark when César brought down
Deco just inside the area, Derlei converting the resulting penalty, and when
Naybet was sent off for a second bookable offence ten minutes later it was all
over. (04.05.04) |
