Mehdi Taremi was one of the pillars who helped his team, Porto, to reach the 1/8 finals.
He was yellow-carded for a foul on him which was considered a simulation by the referee. However, after a look at the pitchside monitor, the referee announced a penalty kick for Porto. Taremi converted the penalty.
Once again, in the 68th minute, the lethal Iranian striker shone and passed a perfect chip to his teammate Matheus Uribe who scored the second goal of his team.
Lazio also scored two goals in the game (Ciro Immobile 19’, Danilo Cataldi 90+5') which came to an end 2-2. But as Porto had won the first leg game 2-1, they advanced to the 1/8 finals 4-3 on aggregate.
The other players on the list are Portuguese Ricardo Horta (Braga), English James Tavernier (Rangers F.C.), and Ukrainian Ruslan Malinovskyi (Atalanta B.C.).
