Porto may have been knocked out of the Champions League by Chelsea but Mehdi Taremi made sure they went big with a scandalous overhead kick.
The striker, who came onto the pitch in the second half with the aim of coming back from 2-0 down in the first leg, had a magical moment.
Nanu sent the ball in from the right and Taremi had time to position himself, adjust his body and finish off the goal.
Mehdi Taremi scored an incredible goal in the last minutes of the game in which Porto defeated Chelsea 1-0.
Taremi’s shot crashes into Edouard Mendy’s squad, who can’t do anything.
Although slow-motion replays showed the ball had left his shin, he couldn’t help the brilliance of his shot.
The goal came in the 93rd minute, so it was too little too late for Porto to force extra time in Sevilla, but at least it gave him something to smile about.
In the BT Sport studio, Rio Ferdinand and Joe Cole reflected on the great goal.
Taremi’s shot went wide of the shin, but the acrobatic effort was still incredibly impressive.
Ferdinand called the goal “ridiculous” while Joe Cole admired his ambition
Ferdinand said: ‘It’s a speculative ball, but the way he lines it up… I think it comes off the shin guard, but it’s a ridiculous effort.’
Cole added: “It was going to take an extraordinary effort, it’s an invitation and I don’t care if he’s come off his shin guard, he’s flown to the brim.”
Speaking of ambition, four lengths in the box, it was the first time they had so many in the box.
They really left with a groan. The coach will be throwing his hands up for not letting them off the leash”.
Taremi has scored 12 goals this season, and the 28-year-old Iranian can add his goal against Chelsea to his tally with some satisfaction, despite the aggregate score.
Taremi briefly celebrated before charging back to resume play in search of another goal.
