First Published: Dec 09, 1999

FC Porto broke down Hertha Berlin's defence with a late 78th minute goal but needed a substitute to provide the telling finish.

Ljubimko Drulovic produced a sensational solo run down the pitch to get through the Berlin back line and slide the ball in with his left foot by hitting a curling shot.

The Portuguese side had dominated the game with Kiraly making good saves in the German goal. Michael Preetz hit the post with a header in the 87th minute but it was against the run of play. Porto stay top of the section with 6 maximum points while Hertha have only one point.
