This video can not be played Sporting keep clean sheet in third Champions League win of the season Teenager Geovany Quenda bagged a goal and an assist to help Sporting defeat Club Brugge and claim their third win in this season's Champions League. It was the 18-year-old winger's second Champions League goal, having also scored and assisted in his side's 4-1 win against Kairat Almaty in September. The hosts received an early reprieve when captain Morten Hjulmand's red card for a high foot on Aleksandar Stankovic was downgraded to yellow after the video assistant referee (VAR) advised referee Tobias Stieler to review his decision. Sporting then took the lead in the 24th minute as Quenda, who will join Chelsea next summer, scored on the rebound after Geny Catamo raced into the box and forced goalkeeper Nordin Jackers into a save. It only took them seven more minutes to score again as Catamo played through Colombia forward Luis Suarez, who delightfully chipped Jackers to increase their advantage. Quenda then squared the ball for Francisco Trincao to score a third goal and secure the victory for the Portuguese champions in the 70th minute. Sporting, managed by Rui Borges, are up to eighth place in the league phase table with 10 points from five games, while the Belgian side are 26th with four points. Chelsea signed winger Geovany Quenda from Sporting for a reported fee of up to £44m Sporting will be away at high-flying Bayern Munich in their next Champions League outing on Tuesday, 9 December (17: 45 GMT) while Club Brugge will host Arsenal on Wednesday, 10 December (20: 00 GMT).

This remains the second earliest they have taken the lead in a match and then gone on to lose in the competition, after a 4-1 defeat to Marseille in October 2022 (scored in the first minute). The last 12 games between Portuguese and Belgian sides in the UEFA Champions League have produced 10 victories for the Portuguese (L2), although the most recent one was a victory for Club Brugge against Sporting CP in December 2024 (2-1). Club Brugge have lost each of their last three away games in the UEFA Champions League (0-3 v Aston Villa, 1-2 v Atalanta and 0-4 v Bayern Munich), and have only had a longer run in the competition on one previous occasion, losing five in a row between November 2005 and October 2018. With victories in their first two home matches of this UEFA Champions League campaign (4-1 v Kairat and 2-1 v Marseille), Sporting CP will be looking to win their first three at home in a single edition for the first time. Club Brugge have gone nine games without a clean sheet in the UEFA Champions League (21 goals conceded), and only once previously have conceded in 10+ consecutive matches in the competition (a run of 12 between November 2005 and October 2018). The ball has been in play for 63. 9% of Club Brugge’s total match time in the UEFA Champions League this season, which was the highest percentage by any side across the opening four matchdays. Sporting CP, meanwhile, also ranked within the top 10 sides through their first four matches (59. 4% - 10th). As a team, Sporting CP have completed 48 dribbles in four games in the UEFA Champions League this season; more than any other side across the first four matchdays. Half of those came in a single match against Kairat (24), which was also the most by a team in any game through the first four rounds. Club Brugge’s Nordin Jackers led all goalkeepers for line-breaking passes across the first four matchdays in the UEFA Champions League this season (34). Indeed, he also made the most breaking the opposition’s attacking line (27) of any goalkeeper. Sporting CP’s Gonçalo Inácio has made 36 line-breaking passes from the defensive half in the UEFA Champions League this season; the joint-most by any player through the opening four matchdays (also 36 by Josko Gvardiol).
