The first half ended with neither of the two teams being able to trouble the scoreboard operator any further, but even then, it was looking like the match was already over.
After the fifteen minutes allocated for rest, the two teams were back on the field and the second half kicked off.
The Porto team immediately took control of the game once again looking to continue from where they left off, but the Boavista team fought back and sent shots flying at the Porto goal every chance they got.
It seemed like their manager had said to them that if the Porto team could score three goals in the first half, then they could do the same in the second half.
Thus the Boavista team defended well and attacked at any chance that appeared, but despite their efforts, the scoreboard remained unchanged until the 74th minute when Porto launched a counter-attack and Wilson Manafa rifled in a shot from long range into the back of the Boavista goal taking the Porto lead even further.
