Juventus' task of overturning a 2-1 deficit from the first
leg was compounded when Oliveira's penalty gave Porto a the lead after 19
minutes, but Federico Chiesa netted twice in 14 second-half minutes - either
side of a red card shown to Porto striker Mehdi Taremi - to take the
round-of-16 tie into extra-time.
Oliveira buried a stunning second goal of the night with
five minutes left in the second period of extra-time, only for Adrien Rabiot to
equalise and set up a tense finish.
Porto held on to spark wild celebrations on the visiting bench as Juve's quest for a first European title since 1996 ended in failure, heaping pressure on head coach Andrea Pirlo.
