Haaland Scores Twice as Manchester City Beat Porto 2-0 in Champions League

Manchester City secured a 2-0 victory over Porto in their Champions League opener, with Erling Haaland scoring both goals, according to UEFA records. The win puts Manager Enzo Maresca's side at the top of the league-phase standings with three points from one match, while Porto currently sits at the bottom. City began the match aggressively, creating several chances and testing Porto's goalkeeper Diogo Costa, who had to make several important saves.

Haaland was wasteful before halftime but eventually found the net in the 47th minute after a cross from Enzo Fernandez. Porto responded in the second half with Alan Varela coming close to an equalizer, while City's goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma was nearly caught in possession by William Gomes. Haaland sealed the win in stoppage time with a calm finish, marking a positive start to Maresca's Champions League tenure for City.
