- 77'
Romero tackles Jankauskas and Porto think it's a professional foul. Markus Merk doesn't at all. A strange decision. Perhaps Porto paid for their earlier theatrics. Boos abound.
- 76'
Boos and hisses abound as Mollina takes an age to take a goal-kick. Depor quite happy to play out a bit of time.
- 75'
Long ball to Fran fails to hit its target. Carlos Alberto wins a throw. Deco cuts in and gets a cross in. Mollina palms clear and the ball comes to Nuno Valente. He blazes wide.
- 73'
Still little between the two. Depor with a lot of hustle, Porto's game isn't firing.
- 72'
Fran's kick is too low and no-one can pick it up on the edge of the area. Off go Porto. But they're stopped by a timely foul.
- 71'
Carvalho clears. He looks a bit like Steve McManaman. Corner now for Depor.
- 70'
The sub's first touch is dreadful. He drags the ball very wide indeed.
- 69'
Benni McCarthy goes off the pitch. On comes Marco Ferreira. Mourinho has now made all his subs.
- 68'
Fran down the left but a lack of pace prevents much of a move and when the ball comes in from Victor the delivery is again bad.
- 67'
Porto on the charge now. But Depor hold firm. The passes are lateral rather than forward.
- 66'
The first real rush of blood as Maniche attempts a chip. He beats Mollina but not the bar. At last some quality.
- 65'
Nice passing move from Depor. Worked across to Victor but he deliberated and Nuno Valente blocks him.
- 62'
Carlos Alberto loses the ball and looks for a free-kick. Little doing. And, quite honestly, good because that side of his game damages such a talented player.
- 61'
Naybet has to come across to stop an Alberto ball. Corner misses Carvalho. Porto keep up the pressure.
- 60'
Valeron spreads it wide. Fran's ball is poor through. Vitor Baia still yet to have a real save to make.
- 58'
Ball played around by Porto. They need a breakthrough but little is happening. Jankauskas's pass is stopped.
- 57'
Baia thwarts a through ball as Pandiani goes in on goal.
- 56'
A bit more happening but still little to set the heart racing. Romero hustles out McCarthy in the corner.
- 55'
Corner to Porto. Fran made a penalty claim too at the other end. Benni McCarthy gets up to Deco's kick but heads wide.
- 53'
Pandiani played in by Valeron. Nuno Valente stops him fairly says the ref. Pandiani, with shorts down his legs, doesn't agree.
- 52'
Valeron seeing plenty of the ball. Both playmakers in he and Deco yet to flourish.
- 51'
Porto pushing back Depor. Pandiani wants a decision from the ref and doesn't get it.
- 49'
Valeron's through ball cut out. More pace in this half. Carvalho cuts in and shoots. But Mollina claims with ease.
- 48'
Deco's passing lets him down again and sells Mendes short. The Brazilian/Portugese midfielder has been short of his best.
- 47'
Good ball in for Jankauskas but keeper Mollina and Andrade get it clear.
- 46'
Jankauskas has come on for Alenichev looks to have vacated the pitch. Mendes on for Costinha - both replacements of anonymous players in the first half.
- 45'
Off we go for a second half hopefully better than the first.
- 45'
The half finishes rather mercifully. A very poor 45 minutes in which boos and not excitement have been the rule. Porto yet to create anything while Deportivo have wasted chances to really test their opponents.
- 45'
More boos as Sergio wins a free-kick. Victor down the wing but again the final ball is poor. No challenge on Vitor Baia again. He's had it easy when he's vulnerable.
- 45'
The stretcher tells the story - it's over for Luque and Fran, the former skipper is on. He's no slouch and scored the decider against Milan.
- 44'
Luque looks to have had it, and Fran the favourite to replace him.
- 43'
Porto pass it around, perhaps for the first time. But Deco's radar is really off and it's a goal-kick.
- 42'
Corner taken short. Valeron loses the ball. A waste - the word of the half.
- 41'
Wasted free-kick and Depor clear again. Luque goes down injured as he wins a corner.
- 40'
Aleinichev fouled. Mauro Silva the fouler and he may have been in trouble. But Porto take it quickly.
- 38'
Two corners won but the next is knocked away as McCarthy tried to make space.
- 37'
But here's Carlos Alberto. He cuts past two and fires the ball. Naybet sticks out a leg and he's lucky it spins away from goal.
- 36'
Ball not doing much. This match not doing much. Both sides cancelling each other out.
- 34'
More disquiet after a two-footed lunge is penalised just as Benni McCarthy was shaped to shoot.
- 34'
Ball back with Mollina. Even Deco shows his nerve as he fails to keep the ball in.
- 32'
Baia makes a poor clearance. Luque's ball is scuffed and the keeper makes up for his earlier 'rick'.
- 31'
Pandiani is waved offside this time. The crowd liked that.
- 31'
Pandiani's control is poor. Victor gets a chance to cross but Baia claims. Hint of offside and the boo boys are at it again.
- 30'
It's very bitty and that's thanks to the theatrics on show - mostly from the Porto team.
- 29'
Some afters now after Carvalho booked for a foul. Manuel Silva booked for getting involved. Carvalho threw himself to ground. More theatrics.
- 28'
Sergio makes an unorthodox block. Carlos Alberto's shot is cleared.
- 27'
But the wall did its job - Porto are still yet to threaten.
- 26'
Deco fouled on the edge of the box. Time to shoot on goal.
- 26'
More boos. But little action. This is a classic Euro cagey affair.
- 25'
Mollina forced to clear when Manuel Pablo plays it back. Still little attacking done by Porto.
- 24'
A Luque charge down the left meets only a tackle. But a corner it is.
- 23'
Victor gets fouled by Valente. More boos for a player clearly injured. Porto attempt to play on. Sportsmanship not wanted by their fans.
- 22'
Sergio fouled again. Plenty of fouling going on actually. Porto yet to flow. Carlos Alberto gets a yellow for protesting.
- 21'
Luque gets a chance to fizz in a cross. Baia claims it. Another wasted crossing attempt.
- 20'
Manuel Pablo caught offside when the chance to get a cross in was there.
- 19'
Valeron's turn is stopped by Costinha. No card though. One must be happening soon.
- 18'
Andrade smashes clear - booed by fans of the club who got £8m for him. He looks unhappy about that.
- 17'
Sergio tackled hard by Costa. Irueta doesn't like it.
- 16'
Luque's run stopped by Paulo Ferreira. He then makes a run past the same defender and goes down injured.
- 14'
Valente and Valeron clash. The Spaniard goes down hurt but gets up.
- 13'
But Deco is the recipient of a low ball. He can only drill over the bar and wide of the goal. He shakes his head.
- 13'
Carlos Alberto fouled by Romero. Chance for Deco to smash the ball into danger?
- 12'
A Porto dive receives little interest from ref Merk. The fans boo again. Deportivo are doing a good job of stopping them enjoying themselves.
- 10'
Romero's kick drifts out. Throw-in. And another. Porto fans booing again. They like a bit of that. This time a man doing his shoelace the target.
- 10'
A foul on Victor and the crowd are booing the Depor man. Their team not unfamiliar with going to ground of course. They're happy that Valeron wastes the free-kick.
- 9'
Corner finds Manuel Pablo who chips to Pandiani. The pirouette didn't come off and the ball goes over with Baia rooted to his line.
- 7'
Corner ball taken quickly by Porto. Costa bruises his way though. But Depor clear and Luque runs. He wins a corner but should have done better.
- 6'
Still the ball is being largely seen in the possession of the Porto backline. But a ball from Romero is aimed at Luque but he only heads away from the goal.
- 5'
Neither side creating much...but Aleinichev down the wing. Valente on the other one now. And is fouled by Pablo. No, says the ref, Valente's theatrics coming to naught.
- 4'
Quick play from Maniche. But Depor holding their shape and it's a game of chess at the moment.
- 3'
Naybet pushes up and Carlos Alberto is offside.
- 2'
Long kick from Baia. Mauro Silva sweeps up. Ball is back with Porto's defence though. Sergio fouls Costinha.
- 1'
Depor spread it wide. Victor plays it through to Pandiani. His turn evades the defender but he can't keep the ball in.
Depor get it underway. Deco gets an early touch. Porto pass it around calmly before a long ball from Jorge Costa finds Carlos Alberto offside.
Porto walking a disciplinary tightrope - several players need one more yellow card to miss the next game. No tears shed at Old Trafford should a few miss the final one thinks.
The Porto fans are in full voice before the teams come out - they're on for a treble so they should be.
German whistleblower Markus Merk will man the yellow shirt and black shorts to ref the game.
