Sporting thrash Ukrainian side and move closer to Champions League (5-0) | OneFootball

Sporting’s women’s football team beat SeaSters 5-0 this Wednesday, August 5. In a match counting for the semi-final of the 2nd qualifying round of the UEFA Women’s Champions League, the green-and-whites had little difficulty and booked their place in the final.

Playing in St. Pölten, Austria, the Lionesses dominated the match from start to finish. The lead began to take shape in the 19th minute, when Ana Dias opened the scoring. Before half-time, Flor Bonsegundo scored twice (39' and 45+2') to extend the lead to 3-0.

After the break, Sporting did not let up, even with the 37-degree heat on the pitch. The Ukrainian side managed very little, and the Lionesses got on the scoresheet again in the 77th minute, this time through Jeneva Hernandez-Gray. Right at the end, there was still time for Telma Encarnação to put her name on the scoresheet (90').

With this victory - their first in the opening official match of the season - Micael Sequeira’s side advance to the “final” of this mini-tournament for a place in the third qualifying round of the Champions League, which will be played on Saturday. The Sporting side now awaits the outcome of the clash between St. Pölten and Young Boys to find out their opponent.
