Porto 1-0 Arsenal: Galeno scores a sensational late winner to seal the victory
Game is over and the final score is Porto 1-0 Arsenal. Here is the match report.
Gunners stunned by Galeno's stoppage-time wonder strike as the Portuguese side take a one-goal advantage into the second-leg of their Champions League last-16 tie
Arsenal suffered a demoralising 1-0 defeat thanks to Galeno's stunning stoppage-time strike in stoppage-time of their first-leg Champions League last-16 tie.
Mikel Areta's side remain the overwhelming favourites and will fancy their chances of breaching the Portuguese side's defence when the teams meet in north London next month.
But on Wednesday, the best they could muster by way of openings came from a glut of corner kicks. Though, the Gunners looked comfortable for long stretches of the match.
However, their hard work was undone in the closing moments of the game as the Porto forward picked up possession after an Arsenal giveaway and bent an effort past David Raya from 25 yards.
