Although they are the Champions League champion and the Europa League champion, in fact, the difference in strength is not big.

Even in many European Super Cups in the past, the Champions League champions would be taught by the Europa League champions.

Although Porto has lost its top scorer Falcao, it is the first time for Gao Shen and Manchester City players to play in the European Super Cup. It is better to be cautious as there is no big mistake.

But the impact of losing Falcao is still great. Porto mostly plays on the wings, but lacks a connection point in the middle.

After the opening, Porto first tried to get a breakthrough from the center, but failed.

Javi Martinez's defense right in front of the penalty area was very solid, making it difficult for Porto to get any chances.

After going both wings, he hit the goal twice from a small angle, but failed to pose a threat.

Especially in the eighth minute, Hulk used his body to suppress Felipe on the right wing, which is Manchester City's left wing. After receiving the ball, he turned around, got rid of Felipe's defense, and dribbled the ball into the penalty area.

, deflected away David Luiz's header.

But David Luiz was stuck in a good position, allowing Hulk's shot to miss directly.

After trying two attacks, Porto failed to achieve results. Manchester City took this opportunity to stabilize their position, gradually reverse the situation, control the ball, and began to control the rhythm and initiative of the game.

The balance of the competition gradually began to tilt.

Manchester City quickly created an opportunity. After stealing the ball in the midfield, Rakitic sent a pass into the penalty area.
