After Bayer Leverkusen opened up the game with their goal, the Porto side tried to answer back with a goal of their own but the Bayer Leverkusen defence stood strong as their team also tried to double their advantage.
In the end, neither team managed to send the net bulging until the referee blew for the end of the first half.
With the whistle having been blown, the players of the two teams trudged off the field and down into the tunnel for a much-needed fifteen-minute break.
After the Porto players were completely gathered in their locker room, the head manager began to speak,
"Apart from letting your guard down and letting them get the first goal, I don't really have anything to fault in how you've played as you've put on a wonderful display,"
"Unfortunately the goals haven't been forthcoming, but don't be let down by that as I believe that if you keep this up and work even harder, we can end tonight with a win,"
