Overview of all club performances in the UEFA Champions League
FC Porto is on the verge of securing a spot in the UEFA Champions League Round of 16.
Evanilson's first-half penalty gave Porto a deserved lead in their home clash against Club Brugge.
The hosts were handed a massive boost when Brugge's Bjorn Meijer was sent off five minutes before the break.
Despite their numerical advantage, Porto struggled to break down a resilient Brugge defense until Pepe's powerful header 37 minutes from time sealed the victory.
The result leaves Porto in second place in Group B, level on points with Club Brugge but ahead on head-to-head record.
With one game remaining, Porto only needs to avoid defeat away to Bayer Leverkusen to secure their place in the knockout stages.
