Leading European clubs continue their preparations for the upcoming season. In one of the recent friendlies, Sporting, the runners-up of last season’s Portuguese league, faced off against Nottingham Forest, a Europa League semifinalist.

Igor Jesus put the English side ahead as early as the second minute. However, Inacio soon leveled the score for Sporting.

The second half belonged entirely to Sporting, who scored three unanswered goals to secure a commanding 4-1 victory. Doumbia opened the scoring for the Lisbon team, followed by Nel, who completed a brace.
