Manchester City secured a 2‑0 victory over Porto in a UEFA Champions League match, with Erling Haaland delivering a brace that reinforced his reputation as the competition’s leading scorer. The win, achieved through goals in the 23rd and 68th minutes, gave the English side three points and kept them atop their group, while Porto were left without a reply despite several chances in the second half.
