Liverpool 2-0 Porto: Thiago stunner and Salah strike maintain Reds’ 100 per cent record : Rashtra News
The
Reds
had
already
qualified
as
Group
B
winners
with
two
matches
to
spare,
so
teenager
Tyler
Morton
made
his
Champions
League
debut
as
Jurgen
Klopp
rung
the
changes.
Liverpool
maintained
their
perfect
record
in
Europe
this
season
despite
being
without
key
men,
Thiago
scoring
his
first
goal
of
the
season
in
style
with
a
magnificent
second-half
finish.
Mohamed
Salah
added
a
second
as
Porto
were
made
to
pay
for
missed
opportunities,
leaving
them
facing
a
decisive
final
group
match
against
Atletico
Madrid
in
the
battle
for
a
place
in
the
round
of
16
along
with
Liverpool.

Porto
should
have
had
an
early
lead
when
Otavio
somehow
failed
to
hit
the
target
with
the
goal
gaping
after
Luis
Diaz
showed
great
pace
to
burst
away
and
unselfishly
set
him
up.
The
Primeira
Liga
leaders
had
a
let-off
when
goalkeeper
Diogo
Costa’s
poor
attempted
clearance
struck
Sadio
Mane
on
the
head
and
fell
nicely
for
Salah,
but
the
prolific
forward
could
not
apply
the
finish.
Porto
lost
captain
Pepe
to
an
injury
before
Mane
had
a
goal
disallowed
for
offside
in
a
first
half
that
saw
Sergio
Conceicao’s
side
pose
a
threat
without
having
a
cutting
edge.
Mateus
Uribe
almost
capitalised
on
slack
Reds
defending
when
he
spun
sharply
in
the
penalty
area
and
drilled
a
right-foot
shot
narrowly
wide
as
Porto
continued
to
probe
after
the
break.
Thiago
made
them
pay
for
their
profligacy
seven
minutes
into
second
half,
firing
into
the
bottom-right
corner
from
25
yards
out
with
a
stunning
first-time
drive
after
Porto
failed
to
clear
an
Alex
Oxlade-Chamberlain
free-kick.
Takumi
Minamino
had
a
goal
ruled
out
for
offside,
but
Salah
doubled
Liverpool’s
lead
when
he
took
a
pass
from
Jordan
Henderson
and
surged
inside
before
finding
the
bottom-right
corner
with
his
left
foot
to
take
his
tally
for
the
season
to
17.
