In fact, Sporting performed exceptionally well against Juventus. At one point, Sporting's performance looked like they would be able to beat Juventus in style. But the player of the Juventus team was able to score a goal in an extraordinary opportunity. And later, Juventus played a great defensive game which failed to pay for Sporting's goal.
It seemed if sporting was dominating the match even though the game played in allianz arena. Sporting was making so many goal attempts against juventus. The only problem if the team is lack proper finishing. I hope that sporting will able to do the same when juventus will be playing away. Losing 1-0 is not a hard score to catch up. Sporting may try to repeat the same result against arsenal. Sporting lisbon is a black horse in the europa league right now. The second leg gonna be a very interesting match. Juventus will be getting so much pressure from sporting.
Im sure about this by seeing the statistic from the first leg. Sporting was able to prevent juventus to get big ball possessions. The second leg gonna be crazy match for sporting.
