PORTO, Portugal (Reuters) – Substitute Ferran Torres scored to give Barcelona a hard-fought 1-0 win at Porto in their Champions League Group H clash on Wednesday, with the Spanish side finishing with 10 men after Gavi got a second yellow card for a foul in added time.
Torres intercepted a pass by Porto midfielder Romario Baro and booted towards the box to score with a tidy finish during first-half injury time.
Barcelona held on against Porto’s relentless pressure and goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen’s heroics were crucial to help the visitors earn three valuable points away from home.
Barca are top of Group H on six points from two games, three ahead of Porto and Shakhtar Donetsk, who beat bottom side Antwerp 3-2 earlier on Wednesday.
