The entry of Gyokeres, who started again on the bench due to knee problems, also gave the ‘lions’ encouragement (and a draw). But, in the end, Sporting lost to RB Leipzig, who had not yet scored in the Champions League.
Sporting lost this Wednesday, in the penultimate round of the Champions League phase, at RB Leipzig, who had six defeats in six games in the competition.
Benjamin Šeško, one of the German team’s main players, opened the scoring early, in the 19th minute, after a good combination on the left.
The ‘lions’ only managed to draw after the competition’s top scorer entered. Viktor Gyokeres, who started again on the bench due to knee problems, equalized in the 75th minute.
However, hope was short-lived. Three minutes later, a confusion in the Sporting area ended with a goal from Yussuf Poulsen, which sentenced the final result.
