Minute By Minute

The final whistle is blown.
Cristiano Ronaldo returned to his home country and settled the tie with a sensational long-range effort worthy of winning any game. The sixth-minute strike ended Porto's unbeaten home record against English clubs and handed Sir Alex Ferguson's charges a semi-final with Arsenal. The London side will travel to Old Trafford on Wednesday 29 April with the second leg taking place on Tuesday 5 May.

The second half begins.
The referee blows for half-time.
Porto could really be going in two down having enjoyed a significant reprieve when Nemanja Vidić shot over with the goal at his mercy following a Ryan Giggs corner. Anderson takes off his shirt and applauds the home crowd as he departs but there are whistles for Cristiano Ronaldo. The No7 won't mind that, not with his early strike separating the teams. So far so good for the defending champions.
