Player Ratings: Porto 0-0 Zenit St Petersburg

The goalkeeper had virtually nothing to do, but deserves praise for his brave rush off the line in the final minutes of the game to clear Danny's pass which was about to release Zyryanov.

The defender walked a fine line with the referee all evening as more often than not he committed needless and hard fouls. Attacked well, but his crossing left a lot to be desired.

The Uruguayan had a decent game as he managed to find the right balance between attack and defence. His crossing in particular was top-notch as he created numerous chances, including one that set up Hulk for a volley in the first half.

The Argentine had very little to do all game, but was completely reckless in his challenges, and favoured the physical approach all too often. Regardless, he got the job done in the end.

A composed performance by the defender who made a few crucial interventions, preventing a certain goal in the second half as he blocked a pass by Danny from the right before it could reach Lazovic. Showed good positioning and reading of the game.

The midfielder orchestrated countless Porto attacks with his crisp passing and uncanny sense for the unexpected. Had a great shot saved by Malafeev in the second half, and was a positive influence in the final third.

The Colombian displayed his selfish side as he went for a near impossible shot rather than searching for a teammate. Tried to do too much by himself, and failed to impress with his finishing,

The Belgian had very little do to in a defensive sense, but failed to utilise this saved effort in making an impact in attack. Kept it simple on the ball and was a bit passive. Replaced at half-time by Kleber.

The defensive midfielder made sure his backline was well protected and even found some time to rush forward in the second half. Had a volley saved by Malafeev from inside the box.

The striker twisted and turned Zenit's defenders all game long, but ultimately failed to put the ball past Malafeev. Showed great technique and skill, but could not convert his chances.

The attacker failed to be a constant threat as his ability on the ball often let him down. Found the right positions most of the time, but was unable to threaten Zenit with his final ball.

Man of the match, hands down. Pulled off some incredible saves in what was probably the best goalkeeping performance in this round. Saved no less than eight difficult shots, with his diving save on Moutinho in the second half a particular highlight.

The defender led by example as he was a rock at the back, and a useful outlet in attack. Was rarely caught out of position, and impressed with his tackling and ability on the ball.

An awful performance by the Italy international, who found it difficult to contain the hosts' attackers. Gave the ball away needlessly on countless occasions, and in dangerous positions. Was a no-show in attack.

The Belgian had his fair share of problems with Hulk in the first half, but improved as the game progressed. Read the game well, and was at the right place, at the right time.

The Slovakian defender had a superb game, barring a few lapses in concentration. Showed great enthusiasm and never stopped fighting for his team. Was always willing to help out his fellow defenders.

Had an abysmal first half, but improved after the break as Porto left more space at the back. Was a bit off the pace, but most of the time he made the right decision.

Spent most of the time in defence and did well to help out at the back. Was not so convincing in attack though as he slowed down a couple of promising attacks for Zenit looking for the best solution.

Failed to be much of a threat in attack and was very aggressive at times. Gave away needless fouls and seemed out of control in the first half. Did not impress with his passing.

His ability on the ball allowed Zenit some breathing time as he superbly retained possession. Helped out well in defence, and did a lot of work on the flank against James Rodriguez and Pereira.

Covered a lot of ground and never stopped running for his team. Kept it simple off the ball, and was a calming presence at the back with his no-nonsense attitude.

The ex-PSV striker found opportunities difficult to come by. Found the right positions, but did not show anything special up front.
