Lens v Sporting

A goal in each half saw Sporting CP maintain their 100% start to the Champions League campaign with a 2-0 victory over Lens at Stade Bollaert-Delelis. While the hosts enjoyed the better of the opening exchanges and narrowly edged the expected goals battle 1.70 to 1.67, they were made to pay for their wastefulness in front of goal. Sporting struck first when Suarez darted across his marker to turn home Irankunda's teasing cross, a goal that saw the Colombian become the club's outright leading goalscorer in the competition. Ivanovic, Haidara and substitute Edouard all went close to restoring parity for Lens, but as the game became increasingly stretched, Sporting delivered the decisive blow. Andersen's perfectly weighted through ball released Doumbia in behind, and the Italian kept his composure to poke beyond the advancing Risser and effectively seal the points. Thauvin threatened to spark a late revival with a fierce effort that whistled narrowly past the post, but Cahuzac's side couldn't find a way back and remain on three points ahead of their Ligue 1 meeting with Troyes. As for Sporting, Borges' side move to the top of the league phase standings with maximum points from their opening two matches and will look to continue their impressive European form when they face LASK next. That's all from us here – thank you for joining, and goodbye!

FULL-TIME: LENS 0-2 SPORTING CP

We're into just three minutes of added time at the end of this one.

Lens show some real sloppiness at the worst possible time as they're flagged offside in the final third, with the game now drifting towards an anticlimactic conclusion.

While this one looks destined to end in defeat for the hosts, if there's one side capable of staging a late comeback, it's Lens. The French outfit will remember their dramatic stoppage-time turnaround against Slavia Prague last month, and they'll believe there's still time to produce another memorable finish here.
