Porto 1-1 Nottingham Forest: A night of missed chances for Moffi

FC Porto could only manage a 1-1 draw against Nottingham Forest in the first leg of the Europa League quarter-finals, played this Thursday at the Estádio do Dragão. It was a night when chances came, but were not taken.

Terem Moffi was the starter chosen to lead Porto’s attack and was involved in the most important moments of the match – not always in the way he would have wanted. In the very first minute, the Nigerian striker found himself through on goal inside the box, but shot straight at Ortega, with Borja Sainz also failing to convert the rebound. Still in the first half, after a cross from Fofana, he was well placed to head the ball, but once again found the English goalkeeper in his way.

Between those chances, Porto took the lead through William Gomes in the 11th minute, after a fine team move with an assist from Gabri Veiga. The advantage lasted only two minutes, undone by a clumsy back pass from Martim Fernandes that caught Diogo Costa off his line.

Moffi was eventually replaced by Deniz Gül in the 60th minute, leaving the pitch to whistles from part of the crowd. In the second half, Porto also benefited from a Forest goal being correctly ruled out by VAR, and created clear chances through Froholdt and William Gomes, but could not make the difference.
