Porto•GoalkeeperPorto secured their passage to the next round with a professional 2-0 second-leg victory over Stuttgart, winning the tie 4-1 on aggregate. William Gomes opened the scoring after 21 minutes, capitalizing on a swift counter-attack assisted by Borja Sainz just moments after Stuttgart had threatened through Jeff Chabot's headed effort. Substitute Victor Froholdt sealed the result with a spectacular left-footed strike from outside the box into the top corner on 72 minutes. Stuttgart's hopes were further dented when Nikolas Nartey received a second yellow card with 13 minutes remaining, leaving them to finish with ten men. The result maintains Porto's European momentum while ending Stuttgart's continental campaign for the season.
