Yahoo Sports – PORTO, Mehdi Taremi set up both goals to help Porto get its first Champions League win of the season with a 2-0 victory over Bayer Leverkusen on Tuesday.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Iranian forward set up Zaidu to break the deadlock in the 69th minute and then Galeno \u2014 another substitute \u2014 to seal the result in the 87th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The win earns Porto its first points in Group C after losses to Atl\u00e9tico Madrid and Club Brugge, which defeated the Spanish side 2-0 in the other group game Tuesday. The Belgian club has nine points from three games, and the other teams are on three each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leverkusen\u2019s defeat increases the pressure on Gerardo Seoane after a poor start to the season. Leverkusen is second from bottom in the Bundesliga with just five points from eight rounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seoane\u2019s team fought hard in Porto, where the home team ultimately proved more clinical. Jeremie Frimpong\u2019s sending off with his second yellow card in the 88th summed up the German team\u2019s evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Callum Hudson-Odoi thought he\u2019d scored his first goal for Leverkusen in the 16th minute, but the goal was ruled out after a VAR check for a foul by Robert Andrich in the buildup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a fairly uneventful first half, the game came alive in the final minutes before the break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taremi scored on a counterattack for Porto in the 42nd, stretching to acrobatically turn Pep\u00ea\u2019s cross past Luk\u00e1\u0161 Hr\u00e1deck\u00fd in the Leverkusen goal, but referee Anthony Taylor\u2019s attention was drawn to the TV review screen again to check a potential handball from David Carmo at the other end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taylor awarded Leverkusen the penalty, consequently canceling Taremi\u2019s goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, Porto goalkeeper Diogo Costa guessed the right way to stop Patrik Schick\u2019s spot kick, leaving the Czech forward waiting for his first Champions League goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was another VAR check to ensure Costa hadn\u2019t come too far off his line, and more Porto celebrations when he was given the all-clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Schick then raced through to try and make amends, but Costa tipped his shot over the bar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taremi fired over after the break as the second half began with more promise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both sides had chances before Porto defender Zaidu finally made the breakthrough with a header to Taremi\u2019s cross after a fine example of one-touch soccer from the home players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another VAR check threatened to mute the celebrations but this time the goal stood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taremi then played a fine throughball for Galeno to make sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
