Porto got a well-earned draw, having come back from two nil down at half-time. It was great to see their desire to get back into the match as they got their rewards right near the end.

It was a good point against the team currently sat joint second in the table, who no doubt thought they would end their season on a high following our previous game. And it could have been more for Porto with a bit more time.

Having held firm early on and created chances, it was two slow motion goals which saw the away team take the lead. Early in the second half Jack reacted quickly to score as the keeper couldn't hold on it, and the equaliser eventually came as James's lofted cross was turned into the net by Aiden.

Players of the match were Aiden for his pacey play and non-stop running down the left, especially as he was unwell the night before. Stan for taking more time to play it simple and delivering dangerous crosses. And James who made important tackles and drove the team forward in defence and midfield.

As a group, Porto must take real pride from this performance. They now have two more home games remaining.
