Nuno: Porto were not the team we wanted to be
Despite taking an early lead and seeing Copenhagen reduced to 10 men in the second half, Porto had to settle for a draw in their opener.
Porto boss Nuno Espirito Santo was left frustrated by his side's performance in Wednesday's 1-1 home draw with Copenhagen in Champions League Group G.
The hosts took the lead through Brazilian midfielder Otavio's 13th-minute strike, but despite dominating the game for long periods, only produced one further shot on target.
And they were ultimately forced to settle for a point after Andreas Cornelius found the net for the Danish champions seven minutes into the second half, with Porto unable to open the visitors up even after Copenhagen's Slovakian midfielder Jan Gregus was sent off on 66 minutes – leaving Nuno less than impressed.
"I'm left with the feeling that we were not the team we wanted to be tonight," he said. "We allowed Copenhagen too much time.
"We have a game-plan and it has to be strictly kept to, but we did not find the best solutions.
"We needed to want it more, to be more effective and to take our opportunities. We had a lot the ball, but possession has to be transformed into goals.
"But the competition has just begun, we've played the game and now we have to recover."
