Dominant Sporting Lisbon beat 10-man Lille 2-0 in Champions League opener
Zeno Debast and Viktor Gyokeres fired Sporting Lisbon to a 2-0 Champions League win over 10-man Lille on Tuesday, as defender Angel Gomes was sent off for a second yellow card.
Sporting created a number of dangerous chances in the first half but were denied by goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier until Gyokeres latched on to a delightful pass from Pedro Goncalves to open the scoring in the 38th.
Two minutes later, Lille were reduced to 10 players when midfielder Gomes was shown a second yellow card for tripping Gyokeres, after being booked earlier for a push on Francisco Trincao.
In the second half, Debast unleashed a superb long-range effort into the top right corner to seal victory for the home side.
The Portuguese club are sixth in the standings and will next face Dutch side PSV Eindhoven on Oct. 1 in the new format, which sees clubs play eight matches in a 36-team league phase in place of the previous group stage.
