sporting outperformed Juventus and put in a display to be proud of, the played very well and had more attempts on goals than Juventus but in all it was the goal of Derrick Gatti that made the difference and gave Juve the lead.
In terms of the level of ball possession, Sporting CP looked superior to Juventus, but Juventus were still able to keep themselves from conceding and were able to take advantage of the opportunity by scoring one goal through Gatti. But apart from all that, what is clear is that Juventus still have to be more careful in the second leg when they face Sporting CP again at the Estadio Jose Alvalade because Juventus only experience a very small aggregate advantage.
