Holding the advantage from the first leg, Porto delivered another composed performance to wrap up a 4–1 aggregate win, confirming their status as serious contenders in the competition.

In the second half, Victor Froholdt produced a moment of brilliance, striking from outside the box with his left foot in the 72nd minute to put the result beyond doubt. The goal capped off a dominant display from the hosts.
