Sporting CP 2–3 LASK: Krystof Danek's goal decides five-goal contest

An early penalty, then Lang's equalizer

Sporting CP retained the starting eleven used against Lens, with Zeno Debast, Rodrigo Zalazar and Nuno Santos unavailable through injury.

Sporting CP's opening came in the third minute, when Nestory Irankunda won a penalty after a foul by Robert Ljubicic. The decision gave Sporting an early opportunity to take the lead against LASK.

Luis Suárez converted in the fifth minute. Christoph Lang brought LASK level after 15 minutes, receiving from the right before turning and shooting across goal. Sporting also had a first-half chance when Maxi Araújo could not connect with a header from Geny Catamo's cross.

Kaique's saves keep the first half level

Kaique made three saves shortly before halftime, stopping Lang in the 42nd minute, Sasa Kalajdzic in the 43rd and Lang again in the 44th. The teams reached the break at 1–1.

LASK then had to change goalkeepers in the 52nd minute, with Tobias Schützenauer replacing the injured Lukas Jungwirth.

Two goals in five minutes put LASK ahead

The move that put LASK ahead began with Altimira losing possession near the opposition area. Ljubicic carried the counterattack forward before finding Kalajdzic.

Kalajdzic finished right-footed into the bottom-left corner in the 63rd minute. Five minutes later, Krystof Danek scored left-footed from Samuel Adeniran's fast-break assist, extending LASK's advantage to two goals.

Suárez cuts the deficit before Derry's blocked attempt

Sporting introduced Jesse Derry, Luís Guilherme and Fotis Ioannidis during the closing stages to add attacking options.

Suárez collected a rebound and dribbled past the LASK goalkeeper to score in the 89th minute, reducing the deficit to one goal.

Seven added minutes were announced. Derry had a shot blocked five minutes into stoppage time, and the match ended in the ninth added minute with LASK victorious.
