The match between Inter Milan and Porto began on a cautious note with both teams playing to retain possession and keep their opponents from coming anywhere close to their goal with the ball at their legs.
Just as had been expected, it was a tough deadlock with both teams seemingly equally matched up against the other as neither of them budged defensively in the first few minutes of the game, but since they couldn't stay defensively, they soon began to show bits of the attacking football they had in store.
Porto was the first to launch an attack that looked like it could reward them and open up the match.
#6th minute…
Porto had gotten a free kick after Borja Valero had fouled Luis Diaz somewhere on the right side of the Inter Milan team's half of the pitch.
Alex Telles stood over the free kick while the rest of his teammates positioned themselves to receive the ball with most of them just edging outside of Inter Milan's penalty area.
