34'
SAVE! Aboubakar gets a toe to Martins Indi's cross but can't get the power on the ball to trouble Vaclik.
32'
JUST WIDE! Aboubakar turns and strikes just wide on the half-volley. The home side are coming closer to a second.
31'
Basel's Streller produces an equally disappointing effort from 25 yards out which curls well wide of the goal.
30'
Casemiro shoots well over the bar from distance. Porto are the only side playing football at the moment.

YELLOW CARD! First booking of the evening goes to Gashi who caught a Porto player with an elbow.
27'
An overhit pass at the other end calls Fabiano into action once again as he nervously heads the ball away from danger. I just wonder where his head is at after that nasty collision with his skipper.
25'
Porto are back on the attack, winning a corner, which is cleared only to Herrera who strikes the ball low and hard but straight at the goalkeeper.
24'
But the 23-year-old Argentine forward is back on the pitch and seems fit to continue.
23'
Porto's Aboubakar is now down and looks in some pain after he collided with what appeared to be Samuel's knee.
22'
After a lengthy delay, play resumes with Porto losing their skipper to a nasty collision.

PORTO SUB: Martins Indi replaces Danilo.
19'
Distressing scenes as Danilo is taken off in a stretcher and is carried to an ambulance. Fabiano looks OK to continue.
18'
16'
OUCH! Fabiano rushes off his line to punch the ball and has inadvertently taken out his defender Danilo. This doesn't look good.
14'
OVER! Casemiro almost catches Vaclik off guard with a spectacular effort from distance but sees his shot strike the roof of the net. The goalkeeper was beaten.
13'

GOAL! Porto 1-0 Basel! What a stunning free-kick from Brahimi who curls the ball all over the wall and into the corner of the net, leaving Vaclik no chance.
11'
FREE-KICK! Porto now have a free-kick on the edge of the penalty area after Tello was brought down by Samuel. Good call by the ref and a great opportunity.
9'
PENALTY APPEAL! Brahimi tries to take on Xhaka on the edge of the penalty box and then throws himself to the floor. The referee doesn't give the Porto player a yellow card but correctly tells him to get to his feet.
7'
Porto finally have possession in the opposition's final third but a lazy pass gifts the ball to Basel. The visitors game plan is certainly working a treat at the moment.
6'
Basel's last victory away from home in the Champions League came against Chelsea back in 2013.
5'
We've had a fairly timid opening five minutes with, as expected, Poro controlling the possession. The hosts have yet to carve open an opportunity as of yet.
