Sporting held to third consecutive Youth League draw

A third UEFA Youth League encounter and a third successive draw. Sporting's under-19's came away with a last-minute point from Madrid and were denied by Legia of the win at the death. It was again a case of split points against Borussia Dortmund this Tuesday, although the goals were not left to the last minute.

Abdu Conté was one of Sporting's star performers on the day, with an energetic performance down the left. With the Alvalade side dominating from the off, a goal was inevitable. It was Conté who created the opener with a dashing run through the middle and a pass to Pedro Ferreira, who blasted home a minute before half-time.

Tiago Fernandes's side were also the dominating force after the break and Bubacar Djaló came just inches close of making it two. However, a lack of efficiency in front of goal can always prove costly in the game and football and this encounter was no exception, with Gabriel Kyeremateng making the most of a failure to clear to snatch back possession and split the points.
