Porto hit the front after just 60 seconds when Rodrigo Bentancur's back-pass was too short and Mehdi Taremi's challenge on Wojciech Szczęsny sent the ball into the net. Juventus offered little before the break – their first attempt on goal came from Merih Demiral, on for the injured Giorgio Chiellini, in the 40th minute.

The visitors were slow out of the blocks too in the second period as Moussa Marega collected Wilson Manafá's cut-back and fired inside Szczęsny's near post after 19 seconds.
