Francis Amuzu’s late goal rescues point for Anderlecht against Porto in the Europa League | OneFootball

Francis Amuzu came off the bench and rescued a point for Anderlecht against Porto in the Europa League. The 2-2 draw means that Anderlecht remain unbeaten in the competition with three wins and two draws. Porto, on the other hand, have only won one of their five matches in the competition, with this being their second draw.

The away side took the lead from the spot with a generous penalty decision. Wanderson Galeno made no mistake from the spot to give the side a 1-0 lead going into half-time. However, the Brussels club came out of the dressing rooms quicker, with teenager Tristan Degreef making up for his involvement in the penalty to fire home an equaliser. Porto looked to have won it late on when Fabio Veira scored immediately after coming off the bench. However, just three minutes later in the 86th minute Amuzu struck. The winger’s shot from the edge of the box was deflected and looped over Diogo Costa into the back of the net.

Anderlecht should be confident of qualification with Slavia Prague, Viktoria Plzen and Hoffenheim to come. Porto face FC Midtjylland, Olympiacos and Maccabi Tel Aviv in their final three fixtures.
