TURIN, Italy (AP):

Sergio Oliveira scored in extra time to send 10-man Porto into the quarter-finals of the Champions League despite a thrilling 3-2 loss at Juventus yesterday.

Porto, which played most of the second leg at a numerical disadvantage after Mehdi Taremi's sending off, progressed on away goals after the matchup ended 4-4 on aggregate.

Sergio Oliveira also netted Porto's first goal, from the penalty spot, but Federico Chiesa scored twice in the second half to level the tie for Juventus and send the match into extra time.

Porto appeared to have all but won it before Adrien Rabiot reduced the deficit three minutes from time to set up a tense finale.
