I agree that Porto's general play was brilliant, particularly in the air he was commanding. It wasn't him that set up the first goal though it was an intentional chested backpass by Tavernier and he wasn't under any particular pressure. Ballgoun goes down easily under pressure from Porto in front of him, but the ball is nowhere near either of them. The assist was a beautiful bit of skill by Tavernier

On the backpass issue, Macey lifted his hand and was ready to bat the ball off the line if it hadn't hit the post...that would have been a free kick for a pass back, but not a goal.
As someone said on quick bang earlier, Porto nullified Morelos, which was his main job and he did it brilliantly. I barely noticed he was playing.
