Porto got off to a great start against league leaders Sporting, thanks to first-half goals from Evanilson and Pepe Aquino. Gyokeres, who did not start the match, came on at half-time but failed to have any sort of effect on the standing of the game until he combined with fellow substitutes Nuno Santos and Marcus Edwards in the 86th minute of the match, to score twice within 60 seconds. The match ended in a 2-2 draw that pushed Sporting closer to the Liga NOS title.
