Roma 2-1 Porto: Nicolo Zaniolo double gives Italian club advantage going into second leg of Champions League clash
Roma edged the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie with Porto thanks to a Nicolo Zaniolo double.There was little to chose between the sides during the first half at the Stadio Olimpico and it took until 70 minutes before the deadlock was broken.3

Nicolo Zaniolo and Alessandro Florenzi celebrate

Zaniolo struck again six minutes later but Lopez Adrian fired in a volley 11 minutes from time to give Porto something to take into the return leg.Both sides had seen plenty of possession during the opening stages, if without making much of an impact in the final third.On 12 minutes, Edin Dzeko broke clear and played a dangerous ball into the Porto area, which defender Augusto Felipe almost put into his own net.3

As the half-hour mark approached, Lorenzo Pellegrini tested Porto keeper Iker Casillas from the edge of the penalty area.Just before the break, Dzeko was unfortunate not to break the deadlock when he cut back inside from the left of the box and sent an angled drive goalwards, which crashed against the near post. Casillas was called upon again early in the second half when he punched Bryan Cristante’s effort.At the other end, Porto midfielder Danilo Pereira sent his effort just wide at the near post from a corner.Pellegrini forced Casillas into another decent stop before things got heated on touchline as the hour mark passed following a strong challenge on Porto’s Yacine Brahimi – with coaches from both sides having to be separated.Roma, though, were soon celebrating as Zaniolo broke the deadlock on 70 minutes following more good work by Dzeko, who turned on the penalty spot before laying the ball off.3

Action from Roma’s Champions League clash with Porto

The Serie A side, runners-up in Group B behind Real Madrid doubled their lead just six minutes later, Casillas pushing Dzeko’s 25-yard shot onto the post, with Zaniolo slotting into an empty net.Porto, who had won Group D, made some positive tactical changes and got themselves back into the tie when Lopez produced a cool finish after Francisco Soares’ sliced effort dropped to him in the Roma penalty area.The Stadio Olimpico faithful were set for a tense finish, and Hector Herrera curled a shot just wide from the edge of the box.In stoppage time, Roma defender Aleksandar Kolarov saw his angled shot saved by Casillas having been played in on the overlap down the left.

"He makes a huge difference. With the system they play with wing-backs, he's taught himself - and the manager's obviously helped him - to be one of the best wing-backs in world football. It suits him that position, and there's no surprise that he was involved with the penalty, he's involved with the goal.
