Porto produced an important 1-0 victory opposed to MacCabi Tel Aviv to remain alive in the UEFA Europa League.
It is a boring first part in Belgrade, the most productive possibility of falling in love with Dor Turgeman that he drew extensively.
Danny Namaso received closer after the break, but Porto persisted and went ahead in the 58th minute. João Mário, the instigator, his cross that picks up Nico González, who passed to Simon Sluga.
Maccabi arrived at the house strong, Osher Davida hit the bar and Joris Van Overeem putting the Weslley Patati cross over the bar. Dor Peretz had his past purpose ruled by offside, as the dragons were in Serbia.
It is a vital victory for Martín Anselmi in his first adjustment in charge, the new manager implementing 3 training.
Porto awaits tomorrow’s raffle where the Rome or Viktoria Plzeň will be shown as their parties at war in the Knockout qualifiers.
It is a cat and mouse game in a stadium they start almost empty in Belgrade. There is no possibility of speaking in the first 40 minutes, while Porto adapted to the tactics of Martín Anselmi, Stephen Eustacio parked in the middle of a back.
The dragons had a hard time penetrating Maccabi Tel Aviv’s packaged defense, their attempts to avoid anything that is shown to be futile.
The first chance to score came here to the Israeli club in the 41st minute when Ido Shahar took Dor Turgeman, the striker out of the box and lacked the target.
Both groups, the moment are separated with more intention, with João Mario through the ball locating Danny Namaso, who shot from par.
Porto stayed on the front foot and took the lead in the 58th minute. It was Mário once again, his pinpoint cross picking out Nico González who steered his header past Simon Sluga.
Maccabi came closest to equalizing, the impressive Osher Davida curving a long-range shot opposite the bar.
Porto breathed another relief sigh in the 77th minute when Stav Lemkin’s shot went beyond Diogo Costa, with the defense of dragons, getting rid of the danger. Joris van Oveem then lost a wonderful possibility of attracting the level, putting the cross of Weslley Patati on the bar.
Dor Peretz put the ball on the back on the network in the stadiums of the fence, the purpose excluded after Van Overeem trapped strongly.
The victory proved to be a significant one for Porto as a draw would have seen them miss out on the play-offs at the expense of Braga.
It was far from an impressive performance and the team will need time to get used to Martín Anselmi’s tactics. The Argentinian joins Ruben Amorim as an implementer of a back three formation with wing-backs playing a prominent role.
The new manager will be satisfied to welcome Nehuén Pérez and Samu Aghehowa of the suspension. Galen deserves to return to the appearance of the beginning as soon as imaginable and William Gomes, 18, hoped to see a little after being signed in São Paulo.
Anselmi faces a difficult task with the schedule of elements piling up and the Portugal Sportif club goes to Estádio do Dragão on February 8. The clach with the lions came here five days before the knockout phase of the playoffs opposed to Roma or Viktoria Plzeň.
If the Dragons navigate this draw, they will face Lazio or Bilbao Athletic in the circular of 16.
