All easy for Sporting. Ruben Amorim’s team, Bologna’s Euro-rival in the Champions League, leaves no chance even to Arouca and wins their fifth victory in the first five league games.
At the Estádio Municipal de Arouca it ends 0-3: Pedro Gonçalves opens the scoring in the first half, the usual Gyokeres and Trincao round off the score in the second half. In the standings the Lisbon team leaves a void awaiting the challenges of their rivals.
