Chapter 101: Europa League Round of 32, Second Leg: Penalty Shootout II

Both sides had played four penalties and had both scored all their penalties. 

The tension in the Estadio do Dragao was very palpable and everyone unconsciously held their breaths as Nadiem Amiri stepped back from the ball that he had placed on the penalty spot.

The Porto fans wished that he would by some stroke of luck, flop the penalty, either by the Porto goalkeeper saving it, or by him shooting the ball off target, but Amiri ran up to the ball and drove the ball past Augustin Marchesin and into the top left corner.

{4 : 5}

Groans of annoyance and disappointment flew out of the stands where the Porto fans were seated while the traveling fans heaved a sigh of relief before doing their best to cheer for their team.

Next up was the Porto team and Otavio stepped up to take the penalty.

Another round of silent prayers filled the stadium as Otavio stepped away from the ball.
