After the final whistle
Sporting CP finished as winners against Shakhtar Donetsk, with the final score 0–1. The halftime score had been 0–0, before Issa Doumbia scored at 59′. That confirmed event changed the score to 0-1, which also stood as the final result. It is the documented scoring breakthrough around which this recap can be built, without adding an unverified account of the move.
The whole-match shooting figures offer a counterweight to the result. Shakhtar Donetsk registered 14 against Sporting CP's 11, with shots on target also favouring the hosts, 4 to 3. This supports a narrow conclusion: the losing side produced more recorded attempts, including more on target. It does not establish that their opportunities were better, or explain why their attempts failed to produce a goal.
