Porto coach bemoans loss
Vitor Pereira: Felt his side were harshly done by
Porto coach Vitor Pereira felt Manchester City’s 4-0 Europa League win over his side flattered the English club.
City, who took a 2-1 lead into the second leg, had taken the lead after just 19 seconds through Sergio Aguero.
But thereafter Porto enjoyed substantial possession and had a number of chances, and Periera feels City scoring three goals in the final 14 minutes was harsh.
“Up until the second Manchester City goal, Porto were the best team,” he said.
“We played much better but we know Manchester City have a good team and they used the counter-attack well.
“They have great players up front and the second goal caused us difficulties.
“We wanted to change the game but the sending off changed it in favour of Manchester City.
“Someone who has not seen the match is wrong in their opinion if they think City have dominated the game.
“The scoreline does not show what happened on the pitch.”
