Hulk has been blasting low crosses inside the box all game long, it's a matter of time before one flies in really.

Dzeko, 2-0.

Red card for Rolando.

Congratulations City. Good luck against either Sporting or Warsaw in the next round.

3-0, Silva.

4-0, Pizzaro.

[Squibo]

Getting ugly now.. though the Manchester City goals have been top notch movement and interplay. Great impact from Pizzaro off the bench.

The result is a poor reflection of what happened on the pitch, but City deserved to win. We never going to win this after the loss in the first round.

Congratulations. Good luck in the next round

Just got back from the game, have to say a great performance from us, the 4-0 was flattering to say the least but we definitely deserved the win, although it may have been a little different had Sergio not scored after 20 seconds. Really impressed with Pizarro, looks a good player and has an eye for a pass. 6-1 on aggregate against the holders. Impressive.

Why was Hulk getting booed in the last 15-20mins of the match?

Because he kept falling over all the way through both games, and being a bit of a moaning twat. He's built like a truck for Gods sake, he would be some player if he stayed on his feet.

I found it a bit funny myself when Hulk complained in the 1st leg about Manchester City being too physical, when Hulk relies on his physicality to be a good player.

Manchester City's Hulk chants were unsporting, claim angry Porto

The opportunity for Manchester City's supporters was too good to pass up. Their team were on their way to a 4-0 win against Porto and the opposition had a striker going by the name of Hulk who was showing the signs of frustration. "You're not incredible," the home fans sang.

Hulk, real name Givanildo Vieira de Souza, certainly did not look like he had superhuman powers as Sergio Agüero inspired City to a 4-0 win to send them into the next round of the Europa League with an aggregate 6-1 victory.

Porto, however, have not seen the funny side. The Portuguese club are now preparing an official complaint in which they will ask Uefa to open disciplinary charges against the Premier League leaders – and they are refuting it has anything to do with an apparent humour bypass.

Rui Cerqueira, the club's spokesman, said the matter would be reported on the grounds that City's supporters had acted in an improper way. Hulk had also been targeted for chants of "cheat" because of the Brazilian's tendency to look for free-kicks and Porto will claim he was the victim of unsporting behaviour that warrants an official investigation.

The allegations have been met with bewilderment at the Etihad stadium where they could be forgiven for wondering if it is tit-for-tat retaliation after what happened when the two teams met at the Estádio do Dragão last week.

Uefa have already opened a disciplinary case after two of City's black players, Mario Balotelli and Yaya Touré, were racially abused – just as Didier Drogba and William Gallas were when they played there for Chelsea in 2004.

Porto, however, have made it clear they are outraged by City lodging a complaint. The Porto version of events that it was actually both sets of supporters chanting in support of Hulk and Sergio "Kun" Agüero. "Kun, Kun, Kun; Hulk, Hulk, Hulk," Cerqueira said at the time, demonstrating the chants. "These can be easily confused with racist chants."

All of which was a strange explanation given that Agüero was not even on the pitch at the time. Incredible, you could say.

"You're not incredible" is clearly racist. It's not Hulk's fault his skin isn't green.

[Kunte Kinte]

Hulk must be weeping right now, he's not incredible!

[Ladotelli]

pahahahaha bitter much ? Just to illustrate to Porto fans this is what racist chanting looks like, not taking the piss out of the '£100 million Hulk'
