After a goalless first half, the Norwegian striker opened the scoring in the 47th minute. From a cross by Enzo Fernández following a move initiated by Rayan Cherki, Haaland delivered a winning header to give the English the lead.

Porto tried to come back and maintained pressure on the Manchester defense, but City held firm before definitively making the difference in stoppage time.

Haaland scored his second goal of the evening from a pass by Rayan Aït-Nouri. This brace brings his total to 58 goals in the Champions League, further confirming his effectiveness in the European competition.
