# Porto 0-2 Man City player ratings: Haaland does Haaland things as youngster impresses

**[City](https://readmancity.com/) opened their Champions League campaign with a 2-0 win over Porto on Tuesday night, with Erling Haaland scoring both goals at the Estádio do Dragão.**

It took City a while to get going, but there were some impressive individual displays on a night when Enzo Maresca made it four wins from four.

## City player ratings

**Gianluigi Donnarumma – 6.5**

Porto caused problems at times but didn’t make him work particularly hard. Another clean sheet.

**Matheus Nunes – 6.5**

A solid enough night at right-back. Offered less going forward than City might normally expect from that position but rarely looked troubled.

**Rúben Dias – 7**

City were caught on the counter a few times, particularly early on, but Dias was generally where he needed to be.

**Marc Guéhi – 7.5**

Strong defensively and composed in possession. Didn’t take a backward step when things became a little heated either.

**Josko Gvardiol – 6.5**

Had one or two uncomfortable moments but settled as the game went on.

**Ayyoub Bouaddi – 7.5**

A very good first City start. Calm on the ball, disciplined alongside Fernández and didn’t look fazed by the occasion.

**Enzo Fernández – 8**

Excellent after a relatively quiet start. Became increasingly influential and supplied the cross for Haaland’s opener.

**Phil Foden – 7**

Started slowly but became much more involved as the first half developed. His movement caused Porto problems and he helped City finally find some tempo.

**Rayan Cherki – 7**

Not everything came off, but he was involved in the breakthrough, carrying the ball into the area before finding Fernández.

**Antoine Semenyo – 6**

Probably the quietest of City’s attacking players. Worked hard but struggled to have much influence before being replaced.

**Erling Haaland – 9**

The difference. Diogo Costa denied him before half-time, but Haaland headed City ahead shortly after the restart and then scored again in stoppage time. Two more Champions League goals for the Norwegian.

### Substitutes

**Elliot Anderson – 6.5**

Introduced just after the hour as Maresca looked for a little more control.

**Iliman Ndiaye – 7**

Bright cameo. Went at Porto immediately and forced Costa into a save.

**Mateo Kovačić – 6.5**

Helped City negotiate the final stages after replacing Bouaddi.

**Rayan Aït-Nouri – 7**

Made his limited time count, providing the ball for Haaland’s second.
