Sporting made their Youth League debut with an intense match against Galatasaray, having been behind for most of the game. The Portuguese team managed to avoid defeat through two goals scored in stoppage time.
Sandro Ferreira was the first to score for the lions, converting in the 90+4 minute of the match. This goal came at a time when the team already seemed defeated, but it kept Sporting's hopes alive.
Diego Coxi completed the comeback by scoring the equalizer in the 90+8 minute, already in the final moments of regular time. The forward took advantage of the added minutes to secure at least one point for his team.
The result represents a point earned by Sporting in their debut in this under-19 European competition, in a game where the late recovery prevented a defeat that seemed certain.
