It was a bit slow-paced, even a somewhat dull match in two-thirds of the game. And then, all of a sudden, the visitors accelerated to a surprisingly high 3-0 away win!Sporting Lisbon trash the UEFA Europa League holders Eintracht Frankfurt in their first-ever clash thanks to a perfect late execution in the ultimate 25 minutes.Incredible atmosphere and tifo by the Eintracht Frankfurt fans against Sporting this evening! 🇩🇪🏟 pic.twitter.com/nCvxlRqutF— EuroFoot (@eurofootcom) September 7, 2022 A couple of Kolo Muani’s misses for the hosts were the only things worth of mention before Marcus Edwards’ opener on the other end. It came as a result of Morita’s cross and some exquisite Edwards’ finishing despite finding himself in a challenging position.Marcus Edwards🔥Officially the first player to make Eintracht Frankfurt concede a goal in the #UCL One of a kind💯Frankfurt 0-1 Sporting pic.twitter.com/cNd7hb3YAJ— DEAN FOOTBALL⚽ (@DEANFOOTBALL1) September 7, 2022 If that first one was excellent, what is then left to say about the second? A delightful build-up, which started all the way back from the keeper, and a couple of accurate, quick passes launched Trincao into a clear-cut chance he wouldn’t miss for the world.SPORTING WAKE UP! Edwards put it all together and Trincao scored the 2-0 against Eintracht Frankfurt. https://t.co/d9XJXlZ2Eh— SportzGlobal01 (@SportzGlobal01) September 7, 2022 At that moment, the game was already wrapped in, but the Portuguese greats didn’t stop there. Instead, Nuno Santos seized the opportunity and scored Sporting’s third goal of the game for a much-deserved 3-0 win. The first-ever UCL victory for the green and whites on German soil.
