Luyindula 14', Elber 89'
Maniche 6', 46'
xG, big chances, touches and duels are ESPN's numbers; other sites' models can differ a little.
ESPN has no formation for this match, so here are the line-ups as a list.
On the night the home side probably shaded it but over the two legs the best team has won and it is Porto who join Chelsea, Monaco and Deportivo la Coruna in the final four - it's up for grabs now...
An entertaining match until Porto scored the second to break French hearts. A lot to admire in Lyons approach to the game and quality of attack but as they threw men forward they were always likely to give up chances on the break - especially against such a talented side as Porto
Whistle goes and it's all over. Porto go through to the semi-finals after a 4-2 two leg victory, 2-2 on the night
Porto run down the clock from the kick off
Malouda it was who got forward down the left and hit the byline before cutting back a cross to the near post. Elber, who has been making that run all night, finally connects with one and finishes well with his head. Good goal but just a consolation
Something for the home fans to cheer about and raise the spirits a little at the end of a disappointing night. Goal to Lyon and it's all square on the night 2-2

ESPN has no formation for this match, so here are the line-ups as a list.
xG, big chances, touches and duels are ESPN's numbers; other sites' models can differ a little.
On the night the home side probably shaded it but over the two legs the best team has won and it is Porto who join Chelsea, Monaco and Deportivo la Coruna in the final four - it's up for grabs now...
Elber wide to the ever supporting Malouda. Cross swung over but it is too close to Baia who is never in danger of letting it slip
A deflated and presumbly exhausted Lyon are just allowing Porto possession at walking pace
Long punt from the back is flicked on by Jankauskas into the path of Maniche who strikes a fierce one from distance without breaking stride. Would have been a spectacular way to round off his hat-trick but it doesn't trouble Coupet in the Lyon goal
Malouda - who really doesn't deserve to be finishing on the losing side - gets forward once more and plays a low cross into a dangerous area but it is a foot in front of Elber.
Snap shot from distance from the substitute Mendes demonstrates why he starts on the bench. Tried to place a curler into the top corner and misses the target by a long, long way
The very definition of 'going through the motions'. For everyone's sake - if I'm honest I'm thinking about myself - the referee should blow up and end this
Possession football from Porto as they spread the ball from one side of the pitch to the other under little pressure
Really no pace or structure to the game anymore as the die is cast as far as the result goes
For Lyon Eric Deflandre comes on in place of Dhorasoo
More substitutions as Deco goes off for Pedro Mendes for Porto
More woe for Lyon as Edmilson earns a second yellow and is sent off. Nothing really in it other than a tug on Jankauskas after he got past the Lyon man in the middle of the park.
Game has gone a little flat now as Porto close out the contest and Lyon tire after their first half chasing
Great diagonal ball from Edmilson to Malouda. He lays a square ball across to Bergougnoux who shots from distance but the blocked effort is for nothing as his forward ball catches a team mate offside
Deco's showboating gets the better of Edmilson's temper and he cuts down the Porto man to earn a booking
Deco starting to enjoy the game now as he has space in the middle of the pitch to try his tricks
Lyon corner is swung in with some force to the near post but Jankauskas heads a long way clear
Réveillère crosses towards Luyindula but Jorge Costa heads clear
Coupet is a long, long way out of his box, almost playing as a sweeper at the moment as Lyon camp in the visitor's half but to little effect
Edmilson proding around the Porto box for a way in but he is met by a wall of blue and white shirts
Searching ball forward from Deco sees Maniche challenge Coupet for the ball but the Lyon keeper is strong and clears
Porto trying to slow the game down with some possession football in the middle of the park
Great, determined work from the new arrival Bergougoux who rides three challenges before being dispossessed in the last third
Last throw of the dice as attacking players come on for Lyon
Double substitution as Bergougnoux and Réveillère replace Juninho and Essien
Wonderful diguised reverse ball inside the Lyon defence to release Maniche but Coupet is alive to the danger and bravely slides out to claim the ball
Porto substitution as McCarthy is replaced by Edgaras Jankauskas
Hold up in play whilst Essien receives treatment
Wonderful diagonal flighted cross from deep by Diarra picks out Elber free on the penalty spot. Just fails to make contact and still the ball just misses the far post after the bounce.
Porto break with plenty of space and men forward. Good skill from Deco to beat his man in the centre before releasing Maniche into space. Criminal decision by Maniche to start his run early as he looked down the line and could see he was offside.
Crowd are subdued after the goal but the lyon side don't look ready to throw in the towel just yet
Corner from Lyon is cleared but then fired back into the box where Luyindula and Malouda both have a couple of attempts on goal after the offside flag has been raised. Baia stops the shots anyway
Sign of frustration from Juninho as he hacks at Maniche on the edge of the Porto box. Clear foul and the referee rightly takes his name
Deco cuts into the left channel and plays a delightful chipped pass with the outside of his foot into the path of the oncoming Maniche. Not an easy take at all and he crashes a volley into the roof of the net on the run. Great finish that gave Coupet no chance at all
But it doesn't. Goal for Porto this early in the second half and it has to be game over. 2-1 Porto on the night and 4-1 overall.
McCarthy breaks clear with Berthod frightened of tackling - him being the last man. Should have scored but Coupet does well to block at his feet - could prove a valuable save
Cross by Essien causes problems in the Porto box. Ferreira fumbles it back to Baia who has to be alert to clear.
No changes at half time and we are, eventually, under way again
Lyon are back out on the pitch and are ready to go. Porto take their time to get out and when they do it is to a chorus of boos.
Porto look content to sit back and play on the break and have gone close to scoring again themselves as Lyon committ men forward. A shame Lyon didn't get one before the break to really set it up but with Deportivo leading Milan, Chelsea and Monaco doing the business who can bet against the French side. Great entertainment
Really bright, quick, lively game of football. Lyon have had the most of the game, as you would expect under the circumstances. The Porto goal looked to have killed the game but Lyon are not lying down and the equaliser is the minimum they deserved from some intelligent, gutsy attacking play
Whistle goes and it is 1-1 at the break
Alberto has an enormous chance to wrap the whole thing up once and for all but instead opts to try and con the referee with an appalling show of cheating. Shrugged off a defender's challenge to go one on one with Coupet, turned the keeper brilliantly then, instead of following the ball to try and score threw himself over the floored keeper's legs. Got nothing out of it and it is more than he deserved.
Two minutes of added time to be played
A rare Porto attack gives McCarthy a shooting chance from 20 yards to the right of goal. Strikes it cleanly enough and it gives Coupet a scare before it flys just over the bar
Deco had a chance in the Lyon box. He could easily have played in McCarthy but opted to try and turn Mueller who's improvised challenge is massive - Deco would have surely scored otherwise
Promising Lyon attack eventually gets the ball wide to Dhorasoo who tries to pick out Elber. Cross is just too high for him and, under pressure, his header is off target
Magnificent diagonal ball up to Malouda allows him to cut back and create an opportunity to cross but the ball in does not even clear the first defender
Nasty challenge from McCarthy on Berthod gets the tempers flaring a little but just a free kick is dished out
Jorge Costa is booked by referee Andreas Frisk for time wasting at a free kick. Good refereeing from the Swede
Junhino again has a pop from distance. The Brazilian doesn't seem to have his shooting boots on tonight and it is another disappointing effort
Juninho skips into the Porto box and it takes precision timing from Carvalho to take the ball off him. Excellent defending
Maniche chips a ball over the top of the Lyon defence with the outside of his boot into the path of McCarthy. Fierce shot stings the palms of Coupet before Berthod completes the clearance
Again Porto in no rush to take first a free kick and then a throw in
Lyon free kick around 35 yards out dead centre and it is Edmilson who steps up. Absolutely awful effort sliced so wide it almost goes for a throw in. Wasteful
Free kick from Deco by the left corner of the box is curled in towards the near post. No one gets a touch but Coupet needs to be alert to gather low to his right
Alberto is stretcher off after what looke like a nothing fall. He may be hurt but the home fans don't think so and he is quickly back on the pitch. Not the first Porto player to be stretchered tonight and both are up and running now
Elber is denied by an acrobatic save from Baia. Despite having a defender in close attendance he got a shot away from 15 yards in front of goal but the keeper used all his agility to palm it away
Another surge down the right sees the ball dinked towards the near post where Luyindula swiveles and shoots but his effort is blocked
Malouda does fantastically well to keep the ball in right out by the left corner flag and fire over a decent cross that Carvalho does well to back head away
Lyon win the ball back and get it to Dhorasoo around 25 yards out with a good sight of goal. Not a bad effort but it was always going high and wide. Really needs to start getting them on target at least
Even Berthod joins the Lyon attack. Plays a wonderful one two to get into the box but just as he is about to drive on Jorge nicks the ball off his toes
Luyindula works his way into the box and reaches the by line. An intelligent cut back into the right area sees a very important defensive block and clearance
Malouda again surging down the right cuts in and unleashes a drive that is blocked
Porto don't look at all composed. It is a big ask of Lyon to get another three but if they get one soon, who knows...
Another half chance for the hosts. Corner ball sees Jorge head clear when his keeper should have called. Breaks to Luyindula with a target to aim for but on the half volley he ends up just putting it over as the shot continues to rise
Another offside call against Porto, this time McCarthy, as they just leave one man up at a time
Free kick for Lyon sees Elber try his luck from a long way out. Not the best of shots but as it trickles through the box it just evades the outstretched leg of Luyindula. Had he made contact he would have scored
Great vision from McCarthy on the right to see Alberto on the opposite side on his own. Looping cross is into his path but the ref blows for offside
It is all Lyon now as Luyindula and particularly Malouda are taking the game to Porto with a real energy
Snap shot from Juninho a long, long way out has to be good and very nearly is. Powerful strike is dipping but just clips the top of Baia's bar. Good effort
Wonderful surging run down the left from Malouda creates plenty of space. A great cut back finds Luyindula in front of goal, one touch to control and then he burries it. Great move and Lyon are back in it, just
Goal for Lyon and it's all square on the night!!
Lyon seem to have caught a breath now and are looking to attack again
Free kick swung in from deep on the right by Elber. A lot of red shirts challenge but Edmilson is penalised for being a bit heavy handed with the Porto keeper
Deco becomes the first player of the night to be booked. A little harsh but the challenge was cynical
Break down the right by Dhorasoo as he skips past Deco only to be brought down crudely
A really tough task now for Lyon after a bright start had suggested we had a good game on our hands. A crushing blow for them and their heads had dropped a bit
Good work from Deco down the left to get into the box, a slide rule square ball that finds Maniche in lots of space. First time effort into the top right hand corner gave Coupet no chance. 1-0 on the night and 3-0 overall. Surely that has killed the tie already
They maybe do already as Porto go up the other end and score. Goal! - 1-0 Porto
Great, bright start from Lyon but that was a chance they may regret not taking.
Luyindula free again, this time on side, and gets a shot away under pressure but Baia gets down well to turn it away
Space for Malouda on the left to put in a cross. Headed forward by Elber to Luyindula who scuffs it into the net but the linesman's flag was up before hand correctly
Already Porto look to be in no hurry to take throw ins and free kicks
Alberto keeps the ball in on the right flank; Deco does the same and Alenitchev breaks but is tackled just as the pitch seemed to open up for him
We're underway and it's Lyon who are first to break but the forward pass is over hit and a goal kick is earned
Two French clubs in the semis? Join us at 19.45 BST to see of Lyon can overturn a 2-0 deficit to join Monaco in the last four.
