PORTO, Portugal — Porto has defeated Atlético Madrid 2-1 to win its Champions League group and keep Atlético from making it to the Europa League playoffs. Mehdi Taremi and Stephen Eustáquio scored first-half goals for Porto as it took over first place in Group B after Club Brugge was held to a 0-0 draw at Bayer Leverkusen in the other match. Atlético had already been eliminated and needed a win to secure third place and a spot in the Europa League playoffs. Leverkusen earned that berth because of a better head-to-head tiebreaker against Atlético.
