It was with four goals with which Sporting secured, this Thursday, the pass to the round of 16 of the Europa League against Midtjylland, the last of them in a bet that the Danish Gartenmann will not soon forget.
The 85th minute was running, Sporting was already winning 3-0 and the Dane, under pressure from Paulinho, relied too much on luck. Without even looking at his goal, he passed the ball in that direction, confident that goalkeeper Lössl would be there. Well, it didn’t and the ball kept going all the way into the back of the net.
The scoring of the game opened in the 21st minute, by Coates, who took advantage of a cut on the Midtjylland goal line to head the 1-0.
At 50′, in another corner for Sporting, this time from the right, and Pot was left with the ball, in the corner of the area. The Portuguese touched it over the top and, at first, finished off with his right foot and half a turn into the back of the net.
The 3-0 came in the 77th minute, also from Pot, but in a play in which, despite the fact that the Portuguese had finished off from the same area, he had the help of deflections from the Dane to leave the goalkeeper defenseless.
