UEFA Champions League thriller at Diego Maradona!
Rasmus Højlund scored twice against Sporting CP, assisted by Kevin De Bruyne, a former Premier League opponent.
First Blood for the Hosts!
De Bruyne unleashed a spectacular counter-attack, allowing Højlund to score against Sporting CP. The Danish attacker kept his cool and slipped the ball beneath the onrushing Rui Silva.
Clinical. Ruthless, 1-0!
Sporting CP Strikes Back!
The visitors did not go down quietly. A clumsy challenge in the box provided them with a lifeline, and Luis Suárez converted the penalty perfectly.
He finished calmly, sending Milinković-Savić off course.
It’s 1-1 and game on in Naples!
Højlund Restores Lead!
De Bruyne provided again, this time with a vicious cross into the danger zone. Højlund bravely beat Rui Silva to the ball and guided a header into an empty net, sustaining a heavy collision along the way.
Sheer determination. 2-1 for the hosts!
