72 Europa League round of 32 first leg II

Since the Porto players were currently in control of the flow of the game, they continually tried to break through the Bayer Leverkusen defense, trying various passing maneuvers and trying to dribble past them, but the three center-backs were proving to be a very tough nut to crack.

Luckily, hard to crack didn't mean impossible to crack, and the Porto attack soon broke through the Bayer Leverkusen defense.

Luiz Diaz had been incessantly trying various tricks to get past his marker since the game started and the moment he received the ball from Mattheus Uribe, he quickly ran down the field while hugging the sidelines.

Sven Bender had quickly noted him as a threat and ran at him to block his path, but this time Luiz Diaz quickly passed the ball back infield, not trying to do any tricks.
