Guardiola: Bayern punished for sloppy start against Porto

The Spaniard had no arguments with the result after admitting his side was second best against Porto.

Pep Guardiola lamented Bayern Munich’s slow start after his side was beaten 3-1 by Porto on Wednesday.

The Bundesliga leaders were 2-0 down inside 10 minutes of their Champions League quarterfinal first leg tie after two defensive blunders. The first saw Jackson Martinez dispossess Xabi Alonso before being hauled down inside the area by goalkeeper Manuel Neuer.

Ricardo Quaresma converted the spot kick and then doubled his tally soon after after robbing Dante and finishing coolly.
