Rochéz missed a late chance of a consolation, swishing his boot at thin air when ghosting behind the Sporting defence. The hosts had found their rhythm again and made it 4-0 with a tremendous team goal. On 65 minutes captain Sebastián Coates went close from a corner, heading narrowly over the bar, and Sporting were even closer to scoring soon afterwards. But the hosts got off to a perfect start by taking the lead in the 7th minute. Sporting will be worried that both Gonçalo Inácio and Neto were forced off the pitch. The substitute lost the ball, Edwards showing excellent awareness to immediately play in Rochinha, whose early cross left Trincão with just the goalkeeper to beat 15 yards from goal.
