FC Porto vs Zenit Report

Tom Kundert, December 6 2011,
Zenit St. Petersburg made it through to the knockout stages of the Champions League at FC Porto's expense after a riveting 0-0 at the Estádio do Dragão tonight.
Porto came into the match with a clear mission. Win the game and progress. Anything else would see the Russians take a place in the last 16 instead of the Portuguese champions.

The hosts piled on the pressure throughout the ninety minutes, but try as they might they could not find a way through, in no small measure because of an inspired display by Zenit goalkeeper Malafeev.

The Russian national number one produced outstanding saves from Djalma, Moutinho and James Rodríguez to frustrate the Dragons.

Porto can consider themselves unlucky to have got only one point instead of three from the match, but Zenit were rewarded for a fine rearguard action.
