Athletic player ratings: Sancet and Guruzeta hold their nerve | OneFootball

Athletic’s ratings from a breathless Champions tie, Sancet struck early and Guruzeta added the second, Trincao levelled at 2-2 and Sporting decided it in stoppage time.

Unai Simón repelled efforts from distance and produced a big stop before Sporting clinched it late. Trincao also ran through to make it 2-2. As reported by as.com, the goalkeeper was busy throughout.

Gorosabel kept things neat at right-back, Hjulmand was booked for a lunge on him. Paredes stood firm and was cautioned. Berchiche excelled as a left centre-back and headed over to applause.

Boiro struggled with Catamo yet offered thrust going forward. A penalty against him was overturned after VAR. Rego helped create Sancet’s goal and shielded the middle, while Galarreta drove play and flashed a long shot narrowly wide.

Sancet struck early with a low cross-shot at his second touch, after Rego’s pass rebounded, his first Champions goal. Navarro was quiet before a 50-metre surge. Guruzeta poached the second after a steal and a rebound off the post, was booked, and has five Champions goals. Unai Gómez grafted on the left and was cautioned.

Changes, Berenguer replaced Sancet on 50 minutes and injected direct running. On 66, Vesga came on for Unai Gómez, and Selton replaced Galarreta, dribbled brightly and appealed for a shove by Hjulmand. On 80, Hierro replaced Guruzeta and nearly met Selton’s pass, while Nico Serrano came on for Navarro and had one tight-angle look.
