Scott McTominay drove home the equalizer in the 43rd minute. Massimiliano Allegri’s side found an equalizer just before halftime, as the strike marked McTominay’s third goal across his last two Champions League appearances, sending the sides into the break tied at 1-1.
Porto Scores Three Late Goals
Santiago Giménez slipped a pass through to Gabriel Veiga, who beat on-rushing goalkeeper Alex Meret with a low shot between his legs in the 71st minute to restore the Portuguese lead.

Jakub Kiwior was left completely unmarked inside the area and headed home Porto’s third goal from another corner kick in the 80th minute.
Samu Omorodion broke clear on goal and was brought down in the penalty area by Rafa Marín, who received a straight red card. Samu converted the resulting 90th-minute penalty kick to cap off the 4-1 victory, worsening things for the Italian visitors in the closing moments.
