Italian Issa Doumbia scored in the 59th minute, the only goal of the game, to give Sporting CP a 0-1 win over Shakhtar Donetsk at Stamford Bridge in the Champions League. According to Mundo Deportivo, the Portuguese side, now led by interim coach Tiago Fernandes after Rui Borges was sacked, reach nine points in the standings.
The first half had few chances and many stoppages, with Shakhtar slightly on top thanks to their physical game and the creativity of Alisson Santana and Marlon Gomes. After a good team move, a pass from Silas Andersen ended up at Doumbia's feet and he pushed the ball into the Ukrainian net. Keeper Rui Silva then stopped a low shot from Alisson, and the Brazilian also hit a post.
Sporting's next Champions League opponent is Manchester United, on 25 November.
