It was tied. With this, Inter Milan succeeded in advancing to the quarterfinals with an aggregate score of 1-0.
A tight match was expected. Although Inter Milan won in the first leg, it was a one-point match and the second leg was held at Porto home.
As the power difference between the two teams was not large, the direction of the opening goal was important. Accordingly, the two teams engaged in a fierce search battle from the beginning of the first half, and appropriately used ground and fast attacks to put pressure on the opponent.

However, Inter Milan’s goal was rarely opened. Inter Milan, which held up well until the middle of the second half, actively used replacement cards to make changes and blocked Porto’s attack. In the extra time of the second half, Porto’s wave-like offensive unfolded, but luck did not follow, as the shot hit the post twice in a row. In the end, the goddess of victory raised Inter Milan’s hand, and the protagonist of the quarterfinals became Inter Milan.

AC Milan, who met Tottenham Hotspur, where Son Heung-min is playing, advanced to the quarterfinals with a 1-0 win in the first leg and a 0-0 draw in the second leg, just like Inter Milan.
