    Time:90'
    • Porto
    • Besiktas
    • 90' The end for Besiktas, they don't even qualify for the UEFA Cup, bottom of their group which Porto win.
    • 88' Great long-range effort from Bosingwa which beats Rustu and lands just on the roof of the net.
    • 87' Akin booked for bringing Bolatti down in full flight... Quaresma sends the subsequent shot well over.
    • 85' Besiktas almost fashion a chance as Tello crosses it in and Bobo flies in with the header but Helton combines with Emanuel to clear.
    • 82' Mascherano is in real trouble after an accidental collision with Hyppia. That clash looked fairly rough, Hyppia was clearing the ball as Mascherano slid in, who got the Liverpool defender's foot right into his ankle.
    • 80' PORTO SUB: Gonzalez off for Bolatti.
    • 74' PORTO SUB: Cech on for Fucile.
    • 64' Bobo booked for fouling Bruno Alves.
    • 62' Quaresma is played through the middle and he's clear of the last man to slide it past Rustu, who can do nothing this time, and it is 2-0.
    • 60' Porto on the right, one-two and the cross comes in and Quaresma with the free header BUT A BRILLIANT SAVE BY RUSTU! Superb stop, looked for all the world that it would be 2-0.
    • 55' Assuncao is played through on the right, he bursts forward and can he see Lisandro free on the left hand side of the box? no he can't. He drills it well wide of the far left post.
    • 53' Sektoui is sent clear on the right and there are no defenders but Rustu comes haring out to stand him up and he's stranded until the back-up arrives, now he returns to his goal as Sektoui overdoes it and Basiktas clear.
    • 51' Good run by Sektoui breaking into the box but his cross is hammered clear. Porto have been second best at the start of this second half so need to work their way back into it.
    • 47' Tello with the corner... Porto completely miss it and it falls to CISSE AT THE FAR POST but he drags the shot well wide when he really should have at least got it on target.
    • 46' After a great one-two with Bobo sees him just fail to get the shot away, Ozkan goes down clutching his achilles, which was clipped in the move.
    • 46' Second half underway!
    • 45+1 Half-time in Porto, 1-0 to the hosts.
    • 45' One minute of added time...
    • 44' Rustu booked for protesting. The coach should take him off at half time for that foolish piece of goalkeeping. Play to the whistle boy.
    • 43' Second ball comes into the box from Porto and the Besiktas players have all stopped with their arms in the air and Rustu doesn't even bother to catch the ball and Lucho Gonzalez is in and pokes it home for 1-0! Besiktas are furious but the replay shows that it was clearly offside. Idiotic from Besiktas, and Rustu in particular, who could have caught the ball but was too busy appealing.
    • 42' Corner to Porto after another good save...
    • 39' Brilliant piece of skill by Lisandro to wriggle into space in the box but his low drive into the bottom right is tipped round the post by Rustu.
    • 36' Rustu again with an odd and dangerous save from a Sektoui daisy-cutter, what's he playing at?
    • 34' Baki heavy on on Lisandro AGAIN but nothing given, he clipped his heels but the ref has been rather lenient
    • 33' Succession of Porto corners results in Gonzalez having a long-range shot which goes well over.
    • 31' Good tackle by Tello on Gonzalez, corner to Porto...
    • 28' Bizarre keeping from Rustu as he makes a total hash of claiming a Quaresma cross, tipping it away for a corner instead.
    • 24' Baki with another suspicious challenge, in the box on Lisandro this time, but nothing given...
    • 22' Quaresma is incorrectly booked for diving when he was clearly fouled by Baki.
    • 17' Koroman with a good off the ball run but he makes poor contact with the header and it's out for a Porto goal kick.
    • 15' Lucho Gonzalez is down injured... He gingerly gets up, a key man for Porto who they can ill-afford to lose.
    • 13' Long ball over the top finds Lisandro free in the box on the left and he chips the keeper but the flag is up! That was tighter than Johnny Borrell's jeans.
    • 10' Quaresma with a great bit of skill on the left but his cross is rotten and out for a goal kick.
    • 8' Mercimek goes in hard on Lisandro, who is rolling about in pain but will survive.
    • 6' Quaresma now breaks into the box on the left but Besiktas hold firm - all Porto in these opening exchanges.
    • 4' Rustu saves from a Sektoui long-range effort.
    • 2' Quaresma with a good run down the right but his cross is straight into Rustu's arms.
    • 1' Match underway in Porto!!
