Sporting shine at Alvalade, sweep aside Club Brugge with ease | OneFootball

Sporting defeated Club Brugge 3-0 this Wednesday, November 26, in a match for the fifth round of the Champions League. In a game played at Estádio José Alvalade, the green and whites gave the Belgian team no chance and put on a show, following the draw in the previous round.

The Lions took the lead in the 24th minute. João Simões passed to Geny Catamo, and the Mozambican drove brilliantly into the box, where the ball reached Geovany Quenda. The 'number 7' turned and fired with his left foot for the first goal of the match. The 2-0 came through Luis Suárez. The striker chipped the ball over the opposing goalkeeper with great class, giving more comfort to the scoreboard.

In the second half, Sporting once again showed their superiority over Nicky Hayen's side and scored the third goal of the match through Francisco Trincão (69'). The 25-year-old Portuguese international surprised Nordin Jackers with a good first-time left-footed shot.

With this victory – the 15th in 20 matches this season – Rui Borges' men now have 10 points in the competition and sit in eighth place. The next game in the international competition is scheduled for Tuesday, December 9, at 17:45, against Bayern Munich in Germany.
