FC Porto will look to build on their win over Olympiakos when they take on Olympique Marseille in the Champions League on Tuesday.

Fabio Vieira scored an early goal for Porto when they beat Olympiakos 2-0 in their Group C clash at the Estadio do Dragao on Tuesday.

The win was a first in the pool for Porto and moved them into second place after two rounds of matches, three points behind leaders Manchester City, who have a full haul of six following their 3-0 victory at Marseille.

In the match, Porto went ahead on 11 minutes after Olympiakos captain Andreas Bouchalakis misplaced a pass and Porto were able to swarm into the box, with 20-year-old Vieira providing the finishing touch for his first Champions League goal.

Olympiakos had their moments; winger Lazar Randjelovic forced a good save from Agustin Marchesin, before wasting a golden chance when he shot tamely at the keeper with the goal at his mercy.

Sergio Oliveira made the points safe with a second goal for Porto five minutes from time as he converted Moussa Marega’s cross.

Still carrying the winning momentum, Porto trained on Monday for the match against Marseille.
