Portuguese side advance to quarters on away goals

TURIN, Italy, March 10, (AP): Juventus - and Cristi- ano Ronaldo - crashed out of the Champions League round of 16 on away goals for the second successive year as the Bianconeri were were eliminated by 10-man Porto. Sérgio Oliveira scored in extra time to send Porto into the quarter- finals of Europe’s premier club competition despite a thrilling 3-2 loss in Turin after ’s two goals had given Juventus hope. Porto, which played most of the second leg at a numerical disadvan- tage after Mehdi Taremi’s sending off, advanced on away goals after the matchup ended 4-4 on aggregate. “There’s great disappointment and sadness, I’m pretty much speechless,” Chiesa said. “We managed to get back into the match and we deserved to go through. Instead, we’re here talking about something else and I really don’t know what to say. “We had all the cards in our hand to go through, just we didn’t show it. We only performed in the second half today and we almost did it ... the dis- appointment is so great. It’s all pretty much meaningless, even my two goals or my performance, because we haven’t got anything out of it.” Juventus went out in the round of 16 on away goals to Lyon last season. Sérgio Oliveira also netted Porto’s first goal, from the spot, but Chiesa scored twice in the second half to level the tie for Juventus and send the match into extra time.
