FC Porto have taken the first leg in the Round of 16 Champions League over Arsenal at the Dragao by a 2-1 score. Porto opened the scoring when a Varela cross at the 11th minute was misplayed by Arsenal keeper Fabianski and ended up in the back of the net, Arsenal evened the game quickly when Campbell headed in a corner at the 18th minute mark. The second half saw both clubs get their share of chances to take the lead with Helton turning away Bendtner and Fabianski turning away Ruben Micael but the Arsenal keeper committed another blounder at the 51st minute mark picking up a back pass from his defender, the free kick was quickly played by Ruben Micael, catching just about every Arsenal player asleep and Falcao tapped the ball into the back of the net past a stunned Arsenal squad. Porto held off Arsenal the rest of the way to earn the first leg victory and will head to Highbury looking to advance to the Quarter-Finals.
