Sporting CP is fresh off their 1-0 shutout win against Portimonense. Paulinho struck first for Sporting CP in the 77th minute on a feed from Pote, and with that single goal the scoring was complete. Neither team could manage anything else At the end of 90 a dissapointed Portimonense couldn’t manage to score, and Sporting CP took the shutout win. Sporting CP is on a hot streak lately, with only 2 loss in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, Arsenal recorded a 3-2 win against AFC Bournemouth. Philip Billing scored the first goal for AFC Bournemouth in the 1st minute, then Marcos Senesi added another in the 57th minute on a feed from Joe Rothwell Finally they completed the comback victory in the 97th minute on a goal by Reiss Nelson to cap off a wild match.
