Mehdi Taremi Helps Porto Qualify for Europa League Round of 16
TEHRAN (Tasnim) - Iranian international striker Mehdi Taremi delivered a fantastic performance to help Porto advance to the Europa League Round of 16.
Taremi -Porto's top scorer this season- was a constant menace for a Lazio back line that struggled to keep him under wraps, as his involvement in both goals was a reflection of the excellent season he's currently having.
After initially being booked for simulation, Porto striker Taremi has his booking rescinded and earns his side a penalty after a VAR check in the 30th minute.
Taremi stepped up and fired Porto level. It's 1-1 on the night with Porto leading 3-2 on aggregate.
In the 68th minute, Porto took the lead at the Olimpico. A wonderfully-worked goal, started by Taremi and finished off by Uribe saw Porto took the lead on the night.
The match finished 2-2 at the end and Porto advanced to the next stage thanks to the first leg 2-1 win in Portugal.
