FT: Leicester 1-0 Porto
The Foxes have done it! Two wins from two in the Champions League. The European fairytale continues for Leicester, and they thoroughly deserved it. It was the Leicester of last season tonight, long balls over to Vardy, blistering counter attacks, and a 1-0 victory. How many times did we see that in their last campaign? Terrific stuff.
Porto corner... It causes ALL SORTS of chaos as Felipe heads it, then Andre Silva nods it back across goal, but Huth is there to finally clear his lines. A late tactical sub from Ranieri...

A. Musa

J. Vardy
It's a corner to Porto and Layun frantically gets the ball. The cross comes in and the free-kick goes Leicester's way... The Foxes will be delighted, no idea why they got the free-kick, grappling all over the place which would have given Mike Dean a meltdown.
Time running out for Porto. A cross comes in, it's headed back across the box, and Schmeichel gathers it just about.
FOUR MINUTES OF ADDED TIME
A late cameo appearance for Gray, and Mahrez goes off... Limping a bit, more than a bit, so worth keeping an eye on that tonight.

D. Gray

R. Mahrez
It's all Porto... HA. And Leicester are reprieved after a cross comes in and Jota volleys from near the penalty spot. He gets his timing all wrong, it's a terrible connection and it flies high and wide, bouncing near the corner flag. Not long left....
Leicester on the attack this time and they win a throw after Mahrez's effort is deflected. Fuchs tries a long ball but it's cleared/
OFF THE POST! A cross causes all sorts of chaos as Schmeichel comes out flapping, it falls to Corona, who volleys against the post after it takes a slight knick off Albrighton. Schmeichel was nowhere to be seen and that was in if it wasn't for the deflection.
Here come Porto, Corona sends in a delightful cross and it's with Andre Silva who is five yards out, he fails to take it down however, and it's a let off for Leicester. Goalscorer Slimani comes off to a rapturous reception from the King Power faithful.

A. King

I. Slimani
Porto looking livelier know but they only have 10 minutes to salvage something. Mahrez is back doing his duty and it's looking like a nervy end to the game for Leicester.
Final sub for Porto...
On
J. Corona
Off
O. Torres
SAVE! Morgan nervously puts it out for a corner... It's sent in but Leicester head away. It falls to Herrera, who shoots on the half-volley, and Schmeichel forces it wide. Leicester deal with the resulting corner.
SAVE! Jota down the left for Porto, decides to cut in and shoot from a very narrow angle. It's never going to beat Schmeichel, who holds on to the strong effort.
Very casual clearance from Schmeichel, who knees the ball down before clearing. Lovely stuff. A Porto cross then comes in but it's a handball and Leicester win a free-kick.
A very clumsy challenge from Danilo as he catches Slimani, but it's more of a slip and he avoids a second yellow. In comes a Leicester free-kick but Morgan is deemed to have pushed the defender over.
Defensive duty for Leicester and they're pretty deep, but Porto are still struggling and a stray pass goes out for a Leicester free-kick.
A 50/50 between Otavio and Amartey looks pretty nasty for the Porto man and he gets away with one. A corner comes in for Porto but Felipe heads it over.
And Jota joins the party too...

Diogo Jota

Leicester deal with a Porto corner, just about, and it's time for two subs from Porto...
