Porto pulled a stunner to boost their chances of making it from the group, depending on the outcome of the match between Atletico Madrid and Bayer Leverkusen.

Goals from Estaqiuo, Evanilson, and a brace from Taremi shot the Portuguese giants to an incredible 4-0 win away over Club Brugge.

The win was a tentative assurance that Porto is likely to make it to the next round of the competition.

Still, they had to await the match between Atletico Madrid and Bayer Leverkusen at the Metropolitano stadium.

Atletico Madrid faltered in front of their home fans after they allowed the visitors to take the lead after Diaby’s 9th-minute opener.

However, Carrasco finds an equaliser for the hosts in the 22nd minute.

Seven minutes after Carrasco’s equaliser, Bayer Leverkusen retook the lead courtesy of Hudson-Odoi’s 29th-minute goal.

Carrasco took the penalty, and unfortunately, missed a last and golden chance to win the game for Atletico Madrid, with Hradecky pulling a great save.

The missed penalty sent the camp of the Porto players and coaching crew, who were onboard a flight back home, into wild jubilations, as they were now sure of a place in the knockout round
