As the match progressed, the game became a cagey affair and barely any chances were created from both teams.
Arsenal, who are the current Premier League leaders, were left frustrated most of the night thanks to 41 year-old Pepe who put in a super shift at centre-back for FC Porto.
When penalties arrived, Galeno missed the crucial penalty to give Arsenal the victory and help them progress to the quarter-finals.
The victory meant Arsenal have reached the Champions League quarter-finals for the first time since 2010.
