Sporting Lisbon's 4-1 win was a shock to spectators, even those who watched the match. The statistics - except the score - showed that Man City were completely dominant. The visitors scored in the fourth minute through Phil Foden.
Man City had over 70% of the ball possession. The English team had 20 shots, 6 of which were on target, while Sporting Lisbon only had 9 shots in the whole match. However, the home team did better in the most important step, which was taking advantage of the opportunities.

Viktor Gyokeres - a striker who has attracted the attention of many big teams - continued to prove his worth with 3 goals against Man City from 5 shots. The Swedish player equalized in the first half and successfully converted 2 penalties in the second half of the match. The remaining goal of Sporting Lisbon was scored by Maximiliano Araujo right at the beginning of the second half.
Man City also had a chance to score from a penalty. However, Erling Haaland failed to take advantage. This is the third consecutive match that the Norwegian striker has failed to score.
