Gala have a free-kick, but they cannot turn it into a third goal. It doesn't matter though; Schalke have beaten Lokomotiv Moscow and both sides here will play in Europe in 2019!
90' +2
Big news for Gala from elsewhere in Group D. Schalke has scored in injury time and lead Lokomotiv 1-0, which would mean the Turkish outfit head to the Europa League as it stands.
90'
There will be five added minutes of injury time.
89'
M. Çelik enters the game and replaces S. Féghouli.
Gala make their second change of the game, replacing Feghouli with Celik.
87'
Fernando gets yellow.
M. Marega gets yellow.
Play grinds to a halt once more, firstly for an injury to Maicon and then secondly after tempers flare up between both sets of players. Marega in particular looks rather aggrieved.
Marega is also booked for his role in the scuffle.
Fernando is shown a yellow card for his part in the fracas.
85'
Onyekuru! The Nigerian loanee pops up in the box to meet a neat cross and just nudges it over the crossbar. Time is running out for Gala to salvage a point – or even a win.
83'
Telles is pinged for handball out on the right wing and Gala spear a free-kick into the box. Telles himself is first man and heads it cleanly away, with Porto bunching up fast in defence to force their hosts back.
82'
C. Awaziem enters the game and replaces Sérgio Oliveira.
Porto make their final change, bringing on Awaziem to replace Oliveira.
81'
Kabak thinks he should have a free-kick out on the left wing after a crunching challenge but the referee waves play on, prompting a furious reaction from the Gala man.
Minute
Description
79'
Rodrigues plays Nagatomo into the box and the offside flag stays down despite him being a few yards ahead of the Porto defence. The right-back's low cross is straight to Leite however and the visitors survive another Gala attack.
74'
Consecutive corners following an alleged handball still can't give Gala an equaliser and Porto eventually smuggle their way back into midfield.
73'
Jorge enters the game and replaces Hernâni.
André Pereira enters the game and replaces Adrián López.
Porto make their first change of the game, bringing on Pereira for Lopez.
The visitors make their second change too, introducing Jorge for Hernani.
71'
The scores remain tied between Schalke and Lokomotiv, which remains good news for this Gala revival. Feghouli pulls an effort wide to the left from outside the box but the referee rules that there was a deflection and the hosts have a corner.
69'
There's a pasue in play now as Felipe gets treatment for an injury.
67'
Feghouli misses! Off the crossbar! He tries to bury it in the roof of the net and instead hits the woodwork, with the wicked bounce out finding Porto defenders who blast it away from danger. The hosts are truly playing with the wind at their backs now though.
65'
E. Derdiyok has scored a goal for Galatasaray! Assist by Garry Rodrigues.
DERDIYOK! 3-2! Gala are right back in this one again thanks to a wonderful sliding effort from their striker, tucking a low pass from Rodrigues off the right wing in at the far post past Casillas. This is a roller-coaster of an encounter!
Rodrigues has been one of the stand-out performers for the hosts today and he delivered the goods there with a lovely assist.
64'
Feghouli – perhaps ambitiously – goes for goal himself from that distance, only to crack his shot against Ndiaye, whose deflection puts it into orbit and out for a goal-kick.
63'
Rodrigues draws the foul some 35 yards away on the left flank and Gala have a set-piece situation from which to swing the ball in.
59'
Derdiyok! Another chance for the home side goes begging after the striker skies a pass that sneaks through the Porto defence to him unexpectedly somewhere into the stands behind the goal.
57'
Sérgio Oliveira has scored a goal for Porto! Assist by Hernâni.
That is a hammer-blow for Gala as they are cut open with ease and precision. The hosts will be hoping for Schalke to do them a favour, the way things stand.
OLIVEIRA! 3-1 TO PORTO! Marega breaks down the right wing and slips a wonderful pass through for Hernani to chase. The forward takes it close to the line, cuts it back for his teammate six yards out in front and a calm finish, assisted by some soft defending, restores the visitors' lead to two goals.
54'
Herrera wins a free-kick following a needless shove in the back by Ndiaye as the two jockey for the ball.
51'
As results stand, Gala will still qualify for the Europa League, with Lokomotiv Moscow still held scoreless against Schalke. But a goal for the Russian outfit will torpedo their chances, unless they can overturn this deficit and win against Porto.
48'
Lopez sweeps away on a break down the left, only to put a little too much weight behind his dribble as he enters the opposition box, sending the ball flailing out for a goal-kick.
46'
H. Onyekuru enters the game and replaces R. Donk.
Gala have made a change at the break, bringing on Onyekuru for Donk.
We're back underway for the second half. Can the hosts find two more goals to haul themselves into a winning position? Or will their visitors close out their chances in short order?
45' +4
HALF-TIME: GALATASARAY 1-2 PORTO
45' +3
There's three added minutes of injury time and Gala have another chance to go for goal with a free-kick 30 yards out on the left. They play it square and then cross from the right flank instead – but Rodrigues botches his attempted volley and the referee blows for the break.
45' +1
Penalty goal scored by S. Féghouli for Galatasaray!
FEGHOULI PULLS ONE BACK! 2-1! The gap is cut as the Gala man stutters just before the ball and then clips it into the left corner as Casillas goes the other way. Game on!
44'
Gala feel they have a credible shout for a penalty of their own from the restart, but are waved away by the referee following a shove on Donk.
42'
Penalty goal scored by M. Marega for Porto!
MAREGA MAKES IT 2-0! Straight down the middle from the Porto striker and he doubles the lead for the visitors. Gala's grasp on a Europa League spot is looking more and more tenuous.
40'
The game is resumed after a lengthy delay with Marega continuing – and Porto get a penalty down the other end! Mariano's trailing leg brings down Hernani as he tries to dink into the box and the referee points straight to the spot.
37'
A Gala corner allows them to get back into the Porto box once more but Marega clears the set-piece, injuring himself in the process. He goes down like a sack of potatoes, clutching at his ankle, and play is halted.
34'
This game has settled into something of a rhythm now, with Porto's energy somewhat buttoned down in midfield. Gala look like they're winning the battle there for the moment but surely the visitors have plenty in reserve?
32'
Mariano is dragged down by Lopez as the latter chases a ball into the opposition half and he concedes the free-kick to Gala.
30'
Felipe concedes a corner following some nervy defence in the Porto box following a Derdiyok incursion, yet the visitors once again defuse a soft set-piece and clear it towards the centre circle.
28'
Hernani concedes a free-kick for handball, but Gala can't create a clear chance from it, pinned back to halfway by some fast Porto defence.
24'
Play is back underway, with both men able to continue after some brief treatment.
22'
Leite almost gets his head on the end of Telles' corner but he can't direct it towards goal, sending it skipping away. Play is then paused after Maicon and Oliveira clash heads going up for a high ball.
21'
Since that goal, it has been one way traffic against Gala and they now concede their second corner of the game, Maicon seeing the ball out.
19'
Porto look to add a second in quick succession, with Oliveira releasing a pass down the left wing for Marega to chase, only for the latter to be flagged offside.
17'
Felipe has scored a goal for Porto! Assist by Alex Telles.
That is a beauty of a free-kick from Telles but Gala should be furious with themselves, letting Felipe simply ghost forward unmarked to meet the ball. That was some shoddy stuff at the back.
FELIPE GIVES PORTO THE LEAD! 1-0! Somewhat against the run of play, the centre-back leaps up to meet Talles' free-kick and notch home a superb header into the top-right corner past a stunned Muslera.
16'
Herrera is clattered to the turf by Ndiaye 30 yards or so out on the right wing and the visitors will now have a set-piece chance.
11'
The referee ultimately rules that the hosts were offside in the build-up and awards a free-kick to Porto, much to the frustration of the home fans.
9'
This is a rather dry opening set of encounters between both sides, with Porto shading the game so far. Gala do win a free-kick out on the right wing here after Feghouli is fouled 30 yards or so out.
7'
The visitors can't make their set-piece stick and though they do keep the game around the Gala box, a botched cross finds its way to Muslera who is left with an easy collection.
6'
Hernani scoots down the right wing and tries to draw a free-kick, though the referee doesn't buy it as he tumbles to the turf. Porto do get a corner in short order however.
3'
A relatively end-to-end opening with no clear chances for either side sees both teams probe the other's defences. Marega almost gets onto the end of a loose pass near the hosts' penalty area, but can't reel it in before Muslera gets to it.

We are underway in this Champions League clash between Galatasaray and Porto!
Hello and welcome to live coverage of the final games of the 2018-19 Champions League group stages as FC Porto look to add the gloss to their progression as Group D winners with a victory away at Galatasaray at Turk Telekom Stadium.
The Turkish hosts are out of the running for the last 16, four points adrift of second-place Schalke, but know they can secure the consolation of Europa League football if they win today. They will have to defeat a side unbeaten in this year's competition however, and that is a tall order.
GALATASARAY (4-2-3-1): Fernando Muslera; Mariano, Maicon, Ozan Kabak, Yuto Nagatomo; Ryan Donk, Fernando; Sofiane Feghouli, Badou Ndiaye, Garry Rodrigues; Eren Derdiyok.
Subs: Ahmet Yilmaz Calik, Henry Onyekuru, Omer Bayram, Mugdat Celik, Selcuk Inan, Ismail Cipe, Martin Linnes.
Subs: Bruno Costa, Chidozie Awaziem, Vana Alves, Andre Pereira, Oliver Torres, Jorge, Yacine Brahimi.
The sides are out at Turk Telekom Stadium and we're moments away from kick-off.
PORTO (4-3-3): Iker Casillas; Maxi Pereira, Felipe, Diogo Leite, Alex Telles; Hector Herrera, Danilo Pereira, Sergio Oliveira; Adrian Lopez, Moussa Marega, Hernani.
A sublime header from Felipe and a penalty strike from Moussa Marega had put Porto in prime position to finish Group D unbeaten, but Galatasaray have pulled one back through a Sofiane Feghouli spot-kick of their own to ensure this clash hangs nicely in the balance. At half-time, it's Galatasaray 1-2 Porto.
The hosts may be trailing, but they had the higher rate of possession in that first half. Will they be able to convert that control into a second goal though?
With both assured of some trips away from their own country in 2019, neither will have to wait long to find out who they face, with the draw for the Champions League last 16 and Europa League round of 32 taking place on December 17. Until then however, thank you for joining us – and have a good week!
