Zenit finally broke the hold of portugese team playing in russia whereby no portugese has ever lost there. IT was a good match allowing zenit to prove they are a good team while porto only managed to win their title was just a fluke. I've always like the way russian teams played, just that there are only a few good players in the league. It's a pity.

I think we can term this as a mini upset. Porto were the much fancier side of the two. But the sending off of Fucile turned the match in Zenit's favor. They then capitalized by coming from behind to win the match. Cheers! Ram

If Fucile wouldn't be sent off stupidly, I don't think that Zenit would have won this. Porto played well in the first half, as I have seen in the highlights and only Fucile's stupid handball made Zenit stronger. Of course, this is only based on what I have seen from the highlights, maybe I am wrong, but because I haven't seen the whole game, this is my opinion.
