Felipe's first-ever Champions League appearance didn't exactly go as planned.

On Wednesday, in the first leg of the tie between FC Porto and AS Roma in the Champions League's play-offs, Felipe opened the scoring with an own goal, deflecting a cross from Alesaandro Florenzi into the Dragoes' net in the 20th minute.

Porto signed Felipe from Corinthians in June, as the Brazilian centre-back put pen to paper on a five-year contract with the Portuguese club that includes a release fee of €50-million.
