- Highlights
90+3'
There goes the final whistle! Hulk cracks a free-kick at the home goal, but Malafeev blocks before the final whistle sounds. A 3-1 win for Zenit. Well deserved.
90'
Three minutes of time to be added.
89'
Bukharov is brought on to take over from Kerzhakov. Home fans all happy enough.
88'
Danny showing some terrific skills deep in the home half. He has been a real star this evening for Zenit.
87'
Huszti replaces Zyryanov for the Russian side. All over bar the shouting this one now.
86'
Kerhakov knocks the ball wide from Danny's. Porto just being opened up at will.
85'
Hulk tries to break up the park, but he has four Zenit bodies chasing him as the home side win the ball back.
84'
Spalletti looking a happy man after his side blew a one-goal lead in Cyprus in their opening match of the section. Zenit with the ball deep in the Porto half.
83'
Hulk gives the ball away far too easily before Pereira takes out Danny with a late challenge.
82'
Malafeev launches the ball down the park. Zenit no longer need to commit any bodies forward. Kerzhakov slams a shot over the bar.
81'
Porto boss Pereira continues to pace the touchline in his Mourinho-style scarf. Zenit quickly back on the ball seconds later.
80'
Hubocan hooks out Hulk's corner. Time and numbers against Porto now. Zenit so close to this victory.
79'
Defour with a free-kick into the middle. Comes off the head of a home defender and the visiting side earn themselves a corner.
78'
Glorious chance for Danny! In plenty of space, but sees the shot swerve wide from Faizulin's pass.
77'
Fernando drills a long ranger at the Zenit goal. Plenty of time for Malafeev to study that shot before diving on the ball to make the save.
76'
Danny crosses for Shirokov. His header is saved by Helton, but he somehow lifts the rebound over the bar. That is a shocking miss. Somehow Porto survive that one.
75'
Zenit heading for three points, their first home victory in the Champions League and only their second in the tournament. A night to celebrate for the Russian side.
74'
Mistake apparently for the Hulk booking. Apparently he wasn't booked after all. Anyway, long way back for Porto and their 10 men now.
73'
A change coming for Porto as Steven Defour replaces Belluschi.
72'
GOAL!! Danny slips the ball into the empty net from Kerzhakov's deflected cross. Zenit lead 3-1. Surely all over now.
