In a dramatic Champions League last-16 first-leg clash at the Estádio do Dragão, FC Porto secured a late victory against Arsenal with a score of 1-0, thanks to a 94th-minute wonder goal by Galeno. The match was tightly contested, with Arsenal failing to register a shot on target for the first time in more than two years. Galeno, who has been in fine form this season with 5 goals and 3 assists in the UCL and had his release clause increased to €60m in January, capitalized on a series of defensive errors by Arsenal in the final moments of the game. The victory gives Porto a slender advantage to defend in the second leg in London. Analysts and fans alike highlighted Arsenal's lackluster performance, emphasizing the team's inability to break through Porto's press and their vulnerability in defense.

🔵⚪️🐉 Galeno has now scored 5 goals in UCL this season plus 3 assists in the group stage. FC Porto, smart enough to increase his release clause up to €60m in January. https://t.co/EeEtc34zTE

FT 1-0 Porto. Arsenal will back themselves to turn this around in the second leg. But a timid display ends without a shot target in a game for the first time in more than two years and a late wobble which allowed Galeno a chance to curl in a brilliant winner.

That was an immature minute of football from Arsenal. First Gabriel miscontrols, then Raya scuffs his clearance, Rice overruns it, Martinelli tries and switch and fails. Ended up leaving themselves open.
Porto! Let's go
Porto 1-0 Arsenal In stoppage time, Galeno curls a brilliant shot past Raya.
A stunning winner from Porto!
This Porto-Arsenal game has been class if you like a referee whistling a lot and giving more stoppages for technicalities than rugby.

I’m going to need a lie down after this, or in other words, a ‘playing for Porto FC’

HT 0-0 Arsenal have struggled to find a way to play through Porto's press. It took them 33 minutes to have their first shot. Bit better after that but only real threat coming from set pieces and lucky not to be behind after Galeno's double miss.
Massive let off for Arsenal. Saliba sleeping but Galeno misses two golden chances. Arsenal’s passing has been sloppy so far. Porto’s shape really good and getting pressure on Arsenal during build-up.
