DOUMBIA WINS IT FOR SPORTING
Three wins from four, a day after the coach left
Sporting won 1-0 at Shakhtar a day after announcing they were parting ways with coach Rui Borges, AP reported. Under interim coach Tiago Fernandes, Issa Doumbia swept in just before the hour to finish an incisive move.
Alisson Santana hit the base of the post for Shakhtar, and Rui Silva claimed Newertton's powerful header in added time. It was Sporting's third win from four, and United go there on 25 November.
