Porto vs Arsenal 1-0. Arsenal as a whole dominated the game but Porto's very strong defense made it difficult for Arsenal to score goals.
And Porto's 1 goal in the remaining extra time scored by Galeno in the 90+4 minute was a painful goal for Arsenal.
Arsenal has learned the lesson so maybe in the second leg at home in the Emirates Stadium they will be more attacking from the first half and make sure that they are able to get equal before the halftime mark. Arsenal can score more than one goal in a game as they have shown many times in this season, so it is possible that they turn things around in the second leg. The defeat was painful, but this is what the game is about, I think.
Napoli are lucky that the Victor Osimhen in the just finish African cup that missed many good chances is not the same Victor Osimhen in Napoli who scores with the slightest opportunity. His goal stole the joy away from Barcelona.
Too bad for Arsenal in this season, recording another lose again against FC Porto even though they look to be a more weaker club compared to Arsenal and also being away, this night was a bad one for Arsenal and their fans even though there was high speculation of Arsenal slide winning but the result have taken another direction, with FC Porto making the record-breaking goal in the extra time even though they struggled all through the 90 minutes to make a goal record but to no avail until in the last minutes of the match when luck smiles at them, this is going to open up alot of pressure on Arsenal in the remaining leagues aside from the championship.
Nonetheless, FC Porto indeed has a peculiar Champion League experience, but not as experienced as Asernal so this loss for Arsenal is a big setback for the club this season.
On the other hand, Barcelona draw the match again tonight, even though they had an early lead, but the inability to sustain the win resulted in them conceding the last goal in the match which saw a draw with Napoli on the other end.
Not a large disappointment for Arsenal as they are still to play the 2nd leg in their home ground. Arsenal were a bit careless in the last moment and Galeno utilized it to score a spectacular goal. I still believe it would be an easy win for arsenal.
The more interesting competition was between Napoli and Barcelona where both these teams are of same caliber. Lewandowski is keeping Barcelona on race. The 2nd leg would decide the winning team but it is going to be a competitive one.
