Eintracht Frankfurt muster second-half comeback to hold Porto

Frankfurt muster comeback to hold Porto

Eintracht Frankfurt came back from two goals down to secure a 2-2 draw against Porto in the Europa League at Estadio do Dragao this evening.

The Portuguese side took the lead shortly before half time when Ricardo Quaresma curled an effort in off the far post after cutting inside from the left.

Silvestre Varela then bundled the ball home from Maicon's cross on 68 minutes to give the home side a healthy lead.

However, the Bundesliga side were back in it minutes later when Joselu hammered a low shot into the bottom corner, and the comeback was complete on 77 minutes when Alex Sandro put through his own net following Helton's save from Marco Russ's header.
