CHANCE! What a cross from Johnson. Porro collects possession on the touchline and pokes a pass through to Johnson, who flashes a brilliant cross into the box. Werner is at the back post, but he doesn’t make a run across. That should've been a chance for Werner to score, but he didn't anticipate it.
