Porto continue run
Portuguese giants Porto completed the first stage of their Europa League mission with a fifth victory from six matches following a 3-1 win over CSKA Sofia.

Nicolas Otamendi, Micael and James Rodriguez scored as the Group L winners fended off CSKA Sofia, who could easily have lost by a wider margin.

Defender Otamendi put Porto ahead after 22 minutes, and the only surprise was it had taken them so long to break through.

Following a scrappy opening, Porto had taken a hold on the match, with Walter heading over the bar and seeing a shot tipped wide by Rais M'Bohli, and Fernando Belluschi drawing another save from the CSKA goalkeeper.

CSKA conceded a corner when Porto's James Rodriguez saw his left-footed strike deflected off target, and the outswinging delivery from Belluschi was half-cleared to Josef Souza whose volley was blocked by Giuseppe Apuaro.

But the danger remained and Otamendi steered the ball from 18 yards into the bottom left corner, in off the post.

Falcao, with seven goals in the group stages before tonight, threatened to make it 2-0 soon after the breakthrough goal but Bohli punched his 25-yard shot to safety.

Walter then cracked a 20-yard strike against the CSKA crossbar as the pressure continued to mount from the hosts.

It was already a busy night for Bohli, and in the 44th minute he had to touch a free-kick from Belluschi around his right-hand post.

He got a fist to the corner, taken from the left by Belluschi, and then made another save when Souza picked up the ball 25 yards from goal and took aim at the well-peppered Bulgarian goal.

There was a flicker of life from the CSKA attack just before the interval, but even so their equaliser after 48 minutes was a surprise.

Bohli blasted the ball upfield and Spas Delev was able to drill a shot past Helton from 20 yards.

CSKA's Brazilian forward Michel Platini then threatened to give the visitors the lead but pulled his shot off target, and Porto restored their advantage after 55 minutes.

Falcao was brought to the deck by a foul from Todor Yanchev and Rodriguez sent the free-kick in from the right for Ruben Micael to score from 12 yards.

It should have been 3-1 a minute later when Falcao was again fouled by Yanchev, but the sinned player was a sinner from the spot, Bohli making the save. Falcao was replaced four minutes later by Hulk.

Another substitute, Joao Moutinho, slashed a left-footed shot too high with nine minutes remaining.

CSKA had a late chance to equalise for the second time in the match, but Marcos Marquinhos planted his header over the bar from Spas Delev's left-wing corner.

Rodriguez then swept home a cross from Moutinho to make it 3-1 in stoppage-time, and Moutinho hit the bar just before the final whistle.
