Paris Saint-Germain FC clinched top spot in Group A after beating FC Porto in the French capital thanks to Ezequiel Lavezzi's second-half goal.
Both teams were already assured of their places in the last 16, but the French club now go into the draw as section winners after overtaking Vítor Pereira's men at the last. In an open encounter, Jackson Martínez cancelled out Thiago Silva's strike, yet the hosts upped the pace after the break and took the points through Lavezzi's 61st-minute goal.
It gives us confidence to overcome a team like Porto. We won and we finished first in our group. We are very happy tonight. We will enjoy it.

Blaise Matuidi, PSG midfielder
We expected to finish in first place, but it was not possible. The players worked hard but we must correct our mistakes and move on.

Vítor Pereira, Porto coach
