2014-15 UEFA Champions League Quarter Final First Leg FC Porto Vs Bayern Munich Wednesday April 15,2015

 
Ricardo Quaresma's two early goals and a second-half strike from Jackson Martinez helped a slick Porto complete a stunning 3-1 home victory over a sloppy Bayern Munich in their Champions League quarter-final first leg on Wednesday April 15,2015

The Portuguese side raced out of the blocks with two goals in the opening 10 minutes, Quaresma converting from the penalty spot and finishing neatly as Bayern's sluggish defending was punished.

Five-times champions Bayern, decimated by injuries, clawed their way back into the tie when midfielder Thiago Alcantara steered home at the far post after 28 minutes.

But Martinez pounced on an error by Jerome Boateng after 65 minutes and rounded Bayern keeper Manuel Neuer to re-establish Porto's two-goal advantage heading into the return leg on April 21,2015

Bayern Munich came into the game, a repeat of the 1987 European Cup final which Porto won 2-1, ravaged by injuries and robbed of the services of Arjen Robben, Franck Ribery, Bastian Schweinsteiger and David Alaba among others.

A plethora of trophies

Porto: 27 league titles, 2 European Cups, 16 Portuguese Cups, 2 Uefa Cup/Europa League
Bayern: 24 league titles, 5 European Cups, 17 German Cups, 1 Uefa Cup
