With the advantage of one more player due to Lille midfielder Angel Gomes receiving a red card at the end of the first half, the home team Sporting Lisbon easily won with a score of 2-0.
Welcoming Lille at Jose Alvalade Stadium, Sporting Lisbon were the more proactive players. The Portuguese representative had the most dangerous chances in the first 30 minutes. But Trincao and Gyokeres both missed them regrettably.
By the 38th minute, the home team had what they needed: the opening goal. Receiving a pass from Pedro Goncalves, Viktor Gyokeres handled the ball neatly in the penalty area before turning and finishing with his right foot into the far corner of the Lille net.
Letting the opponent take the lead, the away team Lille continued to "lose both ways". Right after Gyokeres' goal, Angel Gomes committed a foul in the midfield area. The referee showed a second yellow card, sending the England midfielder off. In the remaining minutes of the first half, no more goals were scored. The two teams temporarily stopped with the advantage of 1 goal and 1 man belonging to Sporting Lisbon.
In the second half, in the 65th minute, the home team doubled the gap. Center back Zeno Debast had a thunderous shot from a distance of more than 30 meters. The ball flew hard and broke the roof of the Lille net, creating a masterpiece at Jose Alvalade Stadium.
In the remaining time, despite creating a few more notable opportunities, Sporting Lisbon still did not have a third goal. On Lille's side, playing with one less player made it impossible for the French representative to make things difficult for the home team.
Winning 2-0, Sporting Lisbon pocketed their first 3 points in the 2024-25 UEFA Champions League. Meanwhile, Lille will be without Angel Gomes due to suspension in the next match against Real Madrid.
