| FUCILE RED CARD LEADS TO PORTO DEFEAT .... |
Porto suffered their first ever defeat in Russia on Wednesday as they went down 3-1 to Zenit St Petersburg in the Champions League.
The Portuguese and Europa League champions were punished for the 45th minute dismissal of Uruguayan right-back Jorge Fucile for two yellow cards.
Up to that point the match was even, with James Rodriguez’s early goal being cancelled out by Roman Shirokov’s deflected shot.
However, once Fucile was sent off, Zenit took command, Shirokov’s second goal and Danny’s tap-in sealing their first Group G win.
Apoel Nicosia lead the section after drawing 1-1 at Shakhtar Donetsk, Jadson equalising Ivan Trickovski’s surprise opening goal for the Cypriots.
