Attention, Sporting: Maxi Araujo starts in the draw between Engla…

Ben White wore the hero’s cape for a few minutes, but spoiled the picture by conceding a penalty in stoppage time, and Valverde converted from the spot to make it 1-1 .

The first half was marked by two injuries, one for each side, which forced early substitutions from both coaches. Piquerez left on a stretcher and was replaced by José María Giménez, while Madueke was replaced by Bowen for the British side. Maxi Araújo started for the visitors, who did not manage a single shot on target during the 90 minutes.

Thus, the score remained 0-0 until halftime, and the goals arrived with the Sporting winger on the substitutes’ bench, replaced by Facundo Pellistri. In the 81st minute, following a corner kick, a first deflection by Harvey Barnes forced Muslera into a good save, but Ben White was there on the rebound, simply tapping it in for the goal.

However, the Arsenal defender fouled Viñas two minutes into the five minutes given by the referee, allowing Federico Valverde to silence the home fans after an exemplary penalty was converted.
