Sporting CP secured a convincing 3-0 win over Club Brugge, keeping their 100% home record in the Champions League alive. The hosts looked to be in trouble early on, with captain Morten Hjulmand shown a straight red card for a high boot on Aleksandar Stankovic. However, VAR intervened, downgrading the card to a yellow, and Sporting went on to dominate the game.

The decision proved crucial, as Sporting created numerous chances and eventually took the lead through a Pedro Goncalo's goal. The hosts continued to press, and Club Brugge's struggles were exposed, with Sporting sealing the win with two late goals.

Sporting created early chances, with Christos Tzolis' effort deflecting behind. They took the lead on 24 minutes, thanks to Geovany Quenda's clinical finish. The 18-year-old Chelsea-bound striker scored his second UCL goal of the season, putting Sporting ahead.

Geny Catamo had earlier fired wide from the edge of the box, but Quenda made no mistake with the rebound. The goal was a great strike, showcasing Quenda's talent and poise in front of goal. Sporting were looking dangerous, and it paid off with Quenda's goal.

Sporting kept the pressure on and doubled their lead just after the half-hour mark. Geny Catamo played a crucial role, setting up Luis Suarez with a great pass. Suarez finished clinically, chipping the ball over Nordin Jackers to put Sporting 2-0 up.

The hosts were in control, and Francisco Trincao came close to scoring just before halftime. His shot from the edge of the box was agonizingly close, but Sporting went into the break with a comfortable lead.

Just four minutes after the restart, Luis Suarez had a great chance to seal the win, beating Nordin Jackers and getting to the goal with ease. However, under pressure from Hugo Siquet, he struck the post, and Jackers recovered to block the rebound. Club Brugge grew more desperate as the clock ticked on, with substitute Nicolo Tresoldi having a good chance, but he could only prod wide under pressure.
