Summary Melo converted a penalty to give Galatasaray a 1-0 win over FC Porto in first match of Emirates Cup
LONDON (AP) - Felipe Melo converted a penalty to give Galatasaray a 1-0 win over FC Porto in the first match of the Emirates Cup.
Porto failed to capitalize on its opportunities Saturday at Emirates Stadium, missing two penalties, one in each half by Jackson Martinez and Lucho Gonzalez respectively.
Porto dominated possession in the first half but Galatasaray grew in confidence with Didier Drogba and Wesley Sneijder linking up effectively in the second half and testing Porto s goalkeeper Fernando Muslera on several occasions.
Galatasaray was awarded the penalty after a run into the box by defender Emmanuel Eboue.
Later Saturday, Arsenal hosts Napoli on its home ground.
