Sanusi in Action as Porto Edge AC Milan

Super Eagles defender, Zaidu Sanusi, was in action as FC Porto edged our AC Milan 1-0 in their UEFA Champions League clash at the Estadio Do Dragao on Tuesday night.

Sanusi replaced Brazil defender Wendell after the break.

It was the Nigeria’s international’s second appearance for Porto in the competition this season.

Colombia striker Luis Diaz netted the winning goal for Porto in the 65th minute.

Elsewhere, Vinicius Junior scored two goals, including a brilliant solo effort, as Real Madrid thrashed Shakhtar Donetsk 5-0 in the Champions League.

An own goal by Sergiy Kryvtsov, who turned in a Lucas Vazquez cross, gave Real a one-goal lead at the break.

Vinicius scored twice in five minutes after the restart, sweeping in from close range before beating three players to add a brilliant third.

Rodrygo swept in Vinicius’ pass before Karim Benzema slid home late on.

It was a superb second-half display by Real and in particular Vinicius, who continued his fine run of form this season.

The 21-year-old has now scored seven goals in nine appearances for Real in all competitions – and these were his first in the Champions League this season.

Victory means Real are second in Group D, level on six points with leaders FC Sheriff, who lost 3-1 at home to Inter Milan.
