With Porto having put an end to the deadlock, the Tondela players immediately tried to step up their game as well after they kicked off to resume the match but despite all their efforts, the flow of the game seemed to be against them.
For the next ten minutes, the Tondela stood up to the Porto team that was flowing heavily with momentum from their earlier goal, bringing the match to another standstill with both teams occasionally taking potshots at the other, but the Tondela team couldn't stand up to the Porto team for long and they soon started losing ground in the middle of the park.
Porto didn't waste this chance and quickly began oppressing the opponents with their possession game, constantly exchanging the ball among themselves as they slowly advanced into Tondela's half of the field.
Finally, in the 64th minute, Jason, who had just received the ball from Danilo Perreira saw a bit of space between the Tondela left back and left center back.
