Sporting CP Lisbon vs Zürich Report
Ricky van Wolfswinkel put the Portuguese side ahead in the 15th minute when he latched onto a throughball from Dutch team-mate Stijn Schaars, controlled the ball with his right foot and produced a fine left-footed finish into the bottom corner.
Sporting debutant André Martins enjoyed a fine game in midfield, and despite his tender age he dictated the flow of the game in the middle of the park for long periods.
Sporting CP Lisbon vs Zürich Preview
The Lions lost the big Lisbon derby against Benfica on Saturday, but the creditable performance in a narrow 1-0 defeat at the Estádio da Luz will have done little to dampen the confidence of the Lions. Indeed, anything other than a home victory will be a surprise given that Zurich are bottom of the group without a win to their name.
“Our aim is to obtain victory to clinch first place in the group. After we won our first three games this became our objective. We wasted a chance to guarantee top spot against Vaslui, and we don’t want to waste this chance against Zurich,” said Sporting and Portugal right-back João Pereira.

Real Madrid poised to clinch victory
A trip to Switzerland doesn’t automatically suggest a good start for Los Blancos in the upcoming European campaign.
Such away encounters could prove to be very tricky and Manuel Pellegrini will certainly be alerted by the obstacles that Zurich could pose on Tuesday.
The Argentine manager will certainly line up all a strong squad for the encounter, which means that Real Madrid’s big summer signings might all feature as starters if they are made available (in terms of fitness).
