FC Porto v Man City

Manchester City, despite a few restless periods, begin their 2026-27 Champions League campaign with a win, after a 2-0 victory over the returning Porto at Estadio do Dragao. Erling Haaland scored at the start and end of the second half to condemn Francesco Farioli's side to their first home defeat of 2026. Though they had some positive spells, Porto can have few complaints at the result, after failing to register a shot on target in the competition for the first time since February 2017. That culminated in a 0.22 xG compared to City's 2.31. Diogo Costa made five saves to keep Enzo Maresca's side at bay during the first half. However, he was helpless within two minutes of the second, when Enzo Fernandez's cross was guided into the uncovered far corner of his net by Haaland. Alan Varela curled narrowly wide from the edge of the box, but that was as close as Porto came to an equaliser in their first Champions League match in three years. Shortly after Elliot Anderson's bending effort called Diogo Costa into action, Haaland put the result beyond doubt in stoppage time, steering home a first-time shot from Rayan Ait-Nouri's cutback. City maintain their winning start to the season in all competitions, and it keeps their momentum high ahead of Sunday's Manchester derby against Michael Carrick's United at Old Trafford. Porto, meanwhile, will look to get back on track on the same day, when they travel to Casa Pia in the Primeira Liga. Thanks for joining us today. Until next time, goodbye!

FULL-TIME: PORTO 0-2 MANCHESTER CITY

FERNANDEZ GOES CLOSE, TWICE! Moments after whipping a free-kick narrowly wide of the target, the former Chelsea skipper takes aim again from just outside the box. His low drive is creeping into the bottom corner, but Diogo Costa gets down well to push away at his near post.

Haaland also goes into the book for his part in the incident with Rosario, much to his disbelief.

Yellow Card

There's a flashpoint as a fracas breaks out between Rosario and Haaland, who was dragged to the ground by the Porto midfielder. The latter is booked by the referee.

Ait-Nouri was away down the left, and showed great awareness to pick out Haaland just outside the six-yard box.
