00:00In the U.S. and in Canada, of course, we're also home for the Turkish Super League for Copa Sudamericana,
00:06who comes back this week.
00:10Tourists in the area have made their way along, and a lot of sporting fans have made the journey down
00:18to Faro for this game.
00:25That was Mangas with the ball forward.
00:31And now it's Mangas.
00:33This is good build-up play from Sporting.
00:37Good opportunity, and the opening goal of the game with just over three minutes on the clock.
00:45All too easy for Sporting.
00:51It was a well-worked move, but some slack defending, it must be said.
01:05It's a Dumbia.
01:08It's a Dumbia.
01:09Marking his arrival.
01:12With a well-taken goal.
01:18Stepping inside, look at the space he was given, but that was a very good finish from Dumbia.
01:25And that 20 million euro price tag from Venecia is looking like it might be money well spent.
01:32And certainly it's a very good start to his sporting career for Dumbia.
01:39And a perfect start to this game.
01:43Here comes Dumbia again.
01:45He's looking for more.
01:47It was Hoogsberg who was able to make the block.
01:50Floresma helping it on.
01:55For Dumbia.
01:59Chilwell trying to catch out the goalkeeper there.
02:02Well off target in the end.
02:04Fribourg and Newcastle before the league starts.
02:07So they've plenty of mileage to clock up.
02:10Joao-Virginia quickly off his line and made sure he didn't slide outside the area there.
02:15Good goalkeeping from the man.
02:18And from Faro this sporting keeper tonight comes from this neck of the woods.
02:29So there's a chance for a second.
02:32And that's a very good save by Peter Piotrkowski to put it out for a first corner of the game.
02:40Piotrkowski signed from Jagiellonia in Poland.
02:45And there wasn't much he could do about Dumbia's opener.
02:49This was a good save.
02:51To deny Gonsalves.
03:01It's gone short to Chilwell.
03:06Brunton with the cross.
03:07The goalkeeper couldn't hold it.
03:09The danger hasn't been cleared just yet.
03:11And Lukovic didn't get the...
03:13For the Lions.
03:16And there was that offside.
03:19Piotrkowski did dangle a leg at the ball.
03:21So he became active.
03:25Just there.
03:32And there goes...
03:35And Antonio Almeo again.
03:37It's a shot on target but no power in it really to trouble Zara Virginia.
03:48Comfortable there from Pionidis.
03:51Anderson.
03:52Nice little return ball back towards Ginny Kadamo.
03:56Ginny's shot eventually blocked away.
04:08There goes Katamo taking on Chilwell.
04:13Lovely weight on that pass for Vianides.
04:16And a really good pullback as well.
04:18Excellent save to Danai Gonsalves.
04:23That's a second goal for Sporting now.
04:26And Sergi Altamira wasn't going to be denied.
04:32Fine finish.
04:34Ten minutes before half-time to double Sporting's lead.
04:37After the goalkeeper Piotrkowski had made an excellent save
04:42to keep out Flavio Gonsalves' initial effort.
04:48When the ball broke to the Spaniard.
04:51De Muna found the bottom corner.
04:56Very good save there initially.
05:01Side-footed.
05:03Picked his spot.
05:11Piotrkowski couldn't get down in time.
05:15And it's 2-0.
05:24One of the goals against Celtic in the 4-1 win.
05:27Dumbia driving it across and cleared away by...
05:36So the half-time whistle sounds at the Estadio Algarve.
05:39A very satisfactory first 45 minutes for Sporting.
05:44Dumbia opening the scoring in just the 4th minute.
05:47His first goal for the Lions.
05:51And then Sergi Altamira making it 2-0
05:5410 minutes before the break with his first goal.
05:58And the two goals that see them in a fairly comfortable position here
06:02at half-time against a Strasbourg team
06:06that are relatively youthful.
06:12And with a few changes at half-time as well
06:15which we'll go through bit by bit
06:17as they become apparent.
06:21Newcomer Matteo Del Blanco.
06:23So the arch...
06:24Catamo outside him.
06:26Jenny Catamo now.
06:27Trying to stab it back inside there
06:29to...
06:29Valladides just couldn't quite find his teammate.
06:34It's a good delivery.
06:35A fight header.
06:36And it's a brilliant goal from Silas Anderson.
06:39His first goal for Sporting
06:42on what's proving to be a very good night
06:45for the newcomers.
06:46Great delivery that time from Flavio González.
06:49And a super header from Anderson.
06:54So he joins Dumbia and Altamira
06:57as a first-time goal scorer for Sporting tonight.
07:02That's a wonderful header.
07:04Really good ball.
07:05Look how inviting that cross is.
07:08Super leap as well by Silas Anderson.
07:12Sporting lead by three goals to nil.
07:18Very positive night so far for the Lions.
07:22And a goal to remember for Silas Anderson.
07:31Impressive straight away.
07:33Really positive from Salazar.
07:35Goes down in the area.
07:36And that's going to be a penalty kick.
07:41What an impact to make on your debut.
07:43First touch of the ball.
07:45Driving forward a pace.
07:48Drawing the foul.
07:55And it's a penalty.
07:58He was the meat in the sandwich there.
08:01Rodrigo Salazar.
08:03No doubt about the decision.
08:06Clear foul.
08:14That's exactly what the Sporting fans will be looking for from him this season.
08:29He takes the spot kick himself and finds the net.
08:34Rodrigo Salazar amongst the goals within a minute or two of his arrival.
08:42And what a night it's proving to be for the debutants for Sporting tonight.
08:46Dumbia.
08:48Altamira.
08:50Silas Anderson making his first start.
08:53And Rodrigo Salazar off the bench to score from the penalty spot.
08:59And give Sporting a 4-0 lead.
09:04Confident penalty kick.
09:06Did all the work himself.
09:11Good decision by the referee.
09:12No doubt about that.
09:15And Slonina sent the wrong way.
09:21That's a lovely ball for Fionnidis in space.
09:24Salazar.
09:25A good save.
09:26But Maxi on the follow-up.
09:28Hits there.
09:29Maxi Aroho makes it 5.
09:31The two Europeans both amongst the goals now.
09:35After a good save initially from Slonina.
09:39Great following up by Maxi Aroho.
09:435-0 to Sporting.
09:45They're absolutely cruising at the Estadio Elgar.
09:52The president will be pretty pleased with the way this is shaping up.
09:59Great support play there by Vionnidis.
10:02Good effort.
10:03First time by Salazar.
10:07Brilliant on the rebound from Maxi Aroho.
10:11And it's 5-0.
10:28Goodè·¯.
10:29Let's go.
10:30Sournira tipped Maxi Aroho's free kick over the crossbar.
10:34Just a few minutes.
10:35Maybe for...
10:38Strasburg to pull one back but Matteo del Blanco's effort was always going wide.
10:46lovely cross field pass there as well really nice ball to find Jenny Kadamo
10:52that was a Jenny Katamo special we've seen him do that so often the Liga Portugal cutting in
11:05off the right wing a lethal left foot of his sporting lead 6-0 his teammates up in the stand
11:18appreciating that goal the fans who've made the journey down from Lisbon will feel it was a journey
11:25well worth making seen some smashing goals tonight and this is the latest
11:33always wants to get her onto that left foot of his lethal finish Jenny Katamo makes it 6-0
11:55particularly the last one against Newcastle you can expect to see a much stronger Strasbourg team
12:00there's a chance it's not a 7, Fultes, Ioannidis putting further gloss on the scoreline
12:12Greek international with a slick finish
12:18Strasbourg defence marked absent an easy easy goal really for sporting
12:26Ioannidis
12:33the assist from Maxi Aroho
12:37a calm finish from the Greek international
12:42Ioannidis who wore the 89 jersey last season the former Panathinaikos man
12:47but now wearing the number seven that Giovanni Kenda had been wearing until his move to Chelsea and he's
12:55marked that number seven jersey with a goal tonight it's uh overplayed no chance for Becker
13:01the tall figure who was in there and the referee sands the full-time whistle it's job done for sporting
13:08tonight
13:09a great night for them with goals from Issa Dumbia, Altamira, Andersen
