JAKARTA - Porto manager Sergio Conceicao said his team showed the Portuguese club's true DNA when they successfully eliminated Juventus from the last 16 of the Champions League.

Visiting the Allianz Stadium, Turin, Italy, Wednesday morning, Porto, which had to complete the match with 10 players, was able to escape despite losing 2-3 but progressing thanks to the aggressiveness of away goals in a 4-4 aggregate score.

"This is a match that will go down in the history of the club. The players keep the honor of the supporters with the passion they show", Conceicao said after the match, quoted by Antara from the official UEFA website.

"I have a brave group of players who can translate ambition in the best way, against a great team which is filled with high-quality players", he added.

Porto's situation was pressed against when Mehdi Taremi received a second yellow card early in the second half, but Sergio Oliveira's second goal in stoppage time was enough to score a quarter-final ticket for Naga's men.

"Congratulations to the players who did a fantastic job. After Taremi was sent off, we showed Porto's DNA", he said.

"We never stop believing, this is the true DNA of Porto", concluded Conceicao.
