Galatasaray 2 : 3 FC Porto

Moussa Marega scored to double Porto’s lead. On the stroke of half time however, Felipe fouled Garry Rodrigues inside the area to give Galatasaray a penalty. Sofiane Feghouli scored to bring the deficit back to 2-1.
Sérgio Oliveira scored Porto’s third just before the hour mark before
Eren Derdiyok reduced the score to 3-2 with Gala’s second of the night.
In the other match in Gelsenkirchen, Schalke beat Lokomotiv Moscow 1-0 with a stoppage time goal from Alessandro Schöpf.
Porto topped the group with 16 points followed by Schalke on 11. The Muscovites remain on three points, one behind with Galatasaray who ensured Europa League qualification with third place in the Group.
