Our under-19s were beaten 3-0 in their penultimate UEFA Youth League league phase game by Sporting Lisbon on Tuesday afternoon.
Goals from Gabriel Silva and Denilson Santos put Sporting ahead at the Academia Cristiano Ronaldo, and Rayhan Momade made it 3-0 in the second half.
WHAT HAPPENED
We had the first sight of goal when Ismeal Kabia played a progressive one-two with Andre Harriman-Annous on the counter-attack and won us a corner, but Elian Quesada-Thorn’s cross was punched away.
Sporting took the lead in the sixth minute as Josh Nichols gave the ball away and Manuel Mendonca found Silva, who dinked it over Lucas Martin Nygaard.
