Sporting Club Lisbon 2-1 Athletic Bilbao
Posted in Football at 11:00 on 20 April 2012
Europa League (sic) Semi-final, first leg. Estádio José Alvalade, Lisbon, 19/4/12.
Not paint drying.
(Again, though, I only watched the second half.)
This was an object lesson on how a near miss can spur a team on and how an equalising goal changes a game. At 0-1 down Sporting looked out of it. At 1-1 they dominated, and scored another.
Should be interesting in Bilbao next week.
I see the other Europa League(sic) semi-final finished 2-4. That can’t have been boring either.
