Keeper Manuel Neuer was the penalty shoot-out hero as Schalke reached the last eight of the Champions League beating Porto 4-1 on penalties.

Neuer saved from Bruno Alves and Lisandro Lopez to cap a superb display over the 120 minutes as the Bundesliga side claimed a shoot-out triumph to qualify for the quarter-finals for the first time in their history.

Lisandro had cancelled out Schalke's one-goal lead from the first-leg in Germany with just four minutes of normal time remaining to win the game 1-0 on the night.

Porto's hopes had looked dashed when defender Jorge Fucile was harshly sent-off in the 82nd minute for a late tackle, but Lisandro turned just inside the left edge of the area before bending a shot beyond the reach of Neuer and into the far top corner via the underside of the crossbar to force extra-time.

Porto's attacking instincts were dimmed in extra time as their numerical disadvantage began to tell.

Neither side could find a winner and it was left to Jermaine Jones to fire home the winning penalty.
