Everton scored a wonderfully crafted goal from the right channel. In the 33rd minute, Neville pushed the ball into the path of the marauding Timmy who sprinted alongside a defender. Knowing that his angle has been closed down, Timmy back-flicked the ball into the path of Pienaar who expertly curled the ball into the top right hand corner of the goal. Everton 1-0 Sporting Lisbon. Assist: Timmy.
In the 2nd half, Timmy created havoc once again. Bainesey put in a lovely cross from the corner flag. Timmy was there to distract the goalkeeper and all Distin needed to do was to get the ball deflected off his thighs. Everton 2-0 Sporting Lisbon. Assist: Bainesey.
But it wasn't to be a sweet night for Everton as Distin was sent off for a last-man tug on the opposing player. The opponents went on to score from the penalty spot. Everton 2-1 Sporting Lisbon.
The good thing is that Everton brings to Portugal a one goal advantage.
Score: Everton 2-1 Sporting Lisbon
Scorers: Pienaar, Distin
Assists: Timmy, Bainesey
Subs: Yak, Rodwell, Bily
