Porto came through this tight home encounter with three well-earned points, a nice treat before the half-term break. It's a good step forward for Porto after coming close in recent weeks.

Porto took the lead from Hugo's well struck penalty, as the first half drew to a close. But it was a dubious penalty early in the second half which gave the away side a boost, and a second goal quickly followed. But as is customary recently, Porto came back quickly to draw level when Fraser slotted home, and it was Aiden's long ranger which gave Porto a much-needed win.

Porto battled hard today and showed real grit and determination. There were some mighty tackles going in, and a great save just before the break. Structurally Porto improved, and the boys were strong in different positions.

Player of the match was Hugo, who was a menace in midfield, adding good passes, a goal, and an assist too.

You learn a lot when it gets hard, and this team have the fight and desire. Porto quite rightly got their rewards today.
