Moscow, Oct 25 (IANS) FC Porto achieved a valuable victory against Lokomotiv Moscow (3-1), thanks to their keeper Iker Casillas, who stopped a penalty at the beginning of the match, and the good performance of Mexicans Herrera and Corona, scorers of two goals.
Casillas enhanced his reputation in Wednesday’s match by correctly guessing the intention of Lokomotiv’s Portuguese player Manuel Fernandes and preventing the Russians from taking the lead from the penalty spot, just 10 minutes into the game, reports Efe news agency.
Porto thus strengthened their leadership in Group D, while Lokomotiv virtually have to say goodbye after their third consecutive defeat.
