In a match played on the opponent's ground in Sunderland, the first half did not go well for Sporting. Despite some opportunities and moments of good football, it was the English rival who took the lead in the 33rd minute. The lions were unable to equalize before the break.

The second half told a story similar to the first 45 minutes. Sporting managed to show themselves at times, but the truth is that Sunderland ended with more possession and more shots, sealing the victory at 1-0, in a second half without goals in England.
