Antwerp vs Oporto: resultado del 25 de octubre, goles, resumen y próxima fecha

An Evanilson hat-trick off the bench set Porto on their way to a 4-1 romp over Antwerp in the UEFA Champions League group stage at Bosuilstadion on Wednesday.

Sérgio Conceição's side also found the net courtesy of Stephen Eustáquio to pave the way to victory, with Alhassan Yusuf on target for the home side.

Yusuf had given Mark van Bommel's men the lead eight minutes before half-time low into the right corner. But it proved a short-lived lead as Evanilson, who beat the goalkeeper with a deflected effort, hauled the sides level with 46 minutes gone for the first of his hat-trick. Mehdi Taremi supplied the assist - the first of two for him.

Porto then edged in front for the first time thanks to Eustáquio putting his side 2-1 ahead eight minutes later, defender João Mário this time the provider. It was 3-1 after Pepê Aquino set up Evanilson to put his team two goals ahead 15 minutes later.

Evanilson increased the pressure on the hosts with six minutes left, the attacker on target with a volley to round off a move involving Taremi.

Although it didn't prevent his side claiming all three points, Alan Varela did spurn a good chance for Porto in the game.
