We watched the match live
The Italian team took the lead in the 12th minute through Filippo Scotti after a mistake by Dragon team captain Gabriel Bras, who left the ball at the mercy of the Italian striker when he tried to cut the ball to achieve victory in a quarrel with the team. The center back beat Diogo Fernandez with a powerful shot.
The Portuguese team went after the result and overturned the result before the end of the first half. Jorge Meireles passed several Milan players with brilliant movements and saw his shot blocked by Partisaje's arm inside the area. The match referee had no doubts and pointed to the penalty mark. The penalty kick was the responsibility of Jorge Meirelles, who did not score and tied the match (41).
In the second half, the Dragon team succeeded in imposing its dominance and succeeded in turning the score around after an hour of play. After a corner kick, Gabriel Bras made up for the mistake in Milan's goal and went up to the third floor to head the ball to make the score 2-1 for the Dragons (65).
Nuno Capucho's side had several chances to extend the lead and even close out the game, but the Blue and Whites ended up paying dearly for the waste. A real bucket of cold water for FC Porto in the compensation period.
Gabriel Bras made another mistake and allowed the opposing team's captain, Kevin Zeroli, to win behind his back in a restricted area. The Italian midfielder went into the Dragon area, passed to Alexander Semmelhac who avoided Porto's party at 90+3 minutes and took the decision on penalties, where Milan were more effective.
Jorge Meireles and Gil Martinez failed to score from 11 meters for Porto, and for the Italian side only Simic failed (3-4). Milan qualifies for the Youth League final for the first time and will also face the new Olympiacos.
