Porto celebrate a 2-1 win over Juve in the first leg of their Champions League last 16 clash

Goals from Mehdi Taremi and Moussa Marega earned Porto a deserved 2-1 win over Juventus in the first leg of their Champions League last 16 clash on Wednesday, with Federico Chiesaโ€™s late strike handing the Italian champions a lifeline.

Taremi pounced on a sloppy back pass after 63 seconds to fire in the opener that left Juventus rattled as they failed to create any meaningful chances before halftime.
Things got worse for Andrea Pirloโ€™s side when Marega blasted in Portoโ€™s second 19 seconds into the second half.
Juventus eventually mustered a response when Chiesa fired home a precious away goal with eight minutes remaining.
The wingerโ€™s strike ended Portoโ€™s run of five consecutive clean sheets in the competition and leaves the tie wide open ahead of the return leg in Turin on March 9.
