Sporting lost to Atalanta this Thursday with a score of 1:2 in the match of the second round of the group stage of the Europa League.
The Italian team opened the scoring in the 33rd minute with a goal from Scalvini. In the 43rd minute, Ruggeri increased the Bergamo team’s lead.
In an attempt to get Sporting back into the game, Ruben Amorim sent off Hulman, Paulinho and Nuno Santos at half-time and brought on Coates, Zhenya Katamo and Marcus Edwards.
The Lions did pull one back in the 76th minute thanks to a penalty converted by Dieukeres, but the goal was not enough to avoid their first defeat of the season to the Italians.
After Thursday’s game, Atalanta leads Group D with six points. Sporting are in second place with three points, along with the Austrian Sturm Graz, who this Thursday beat the Polish Rakow, who have two defeats in the tournament.
