Champions League, the results: Ajax and Sporting win

On the first Wednesday of the Champions League of the season, Ajax takes just a while to knock out van Bronckhorst’s Rangers. Thanks to the goals of Alvarez, Berghuis, Kudus and Bergwjin, the Dutch win 4-0 and go to the top of Group A, waiting to know the result of Napoli-Liverpool. In the other match of the afternoon, Sporting Clube won 3-0 at Eintracht Frankfurt: 23-year-old Edwards was decisive, scoring and serving Trincao an assist.

FRANKFURT-SPORTING 0-3

–

The champions of the last Europa League challenge the Portuguese from Lisbon. In the first half there are no opportunities: at 12 ‘Grinfeeld assigns a penalty for a foul by Lenz, then changes his mind after the intervention of the Var. The guests risk paying dearly for some distractions in the setting phase, but at 45′ the score is still 0-0. Upon returning to the field, Luca Pellegrini takes the place of Lenz: Eintracht tries to sting with Kolo Muani, but Sporting prevails thanks to Edwards’ flashes. The attacker is unleashed between 65 ‘and 67’: first he beats Trapp with a southpaw, then he offers Trincao the assist for the 0-2 goal. In the final, the newly entered Nuno Santos also scores, signing the final 0-3.

AJAX-RANGERS 4-0

The Dutch play the game, the Scots are never really dangerous. At half-time the score is already 3-0, the result of goals from Alvarez, Berghuis and Kudus. The Mexican unlocks the match with a corner kick, then the Lancers go wild. Tadic invents, Bergwijn is impregnable. At 32 ‘Berghuis doubles with a southpaw deflected by Sands. A minute passes and Kudus scores 3-0, with a powerful southpaw who kisses the post and ends up in the back of the net. In the second half Ajax administered the advantage, Rangers shortened the distance with a Eurogol by Barisic, then canceled for offside. Bergwjin also scores in the final: the former Tottenham dribbles the goalkeeper, supports in the net and celebrates … lying on the ground, in the grip of cramps. Lucca rejoices with his teammates, but this time remains on the bench: the debut in the Champions League will come on another occasion.
