SPORTING:
Sporting also had a commitment on Monday, February 20th. They faced Chaves, on their opponent's soil, in a match for the twenty-first round of the Portuguese Championship. As happened in the match with Midtjylland, they had problems again with the finishing. Especially in the initial stage. In the period, in which they had control of the ball for 64% of the time, created more chances to shoot than the hosts (9 to 6). However, it was inferior in the rate of shots on target (2 to 3).
The first half ended in a 1-1 draw. However, in the final phase, Sporting improved their shooting. They reduced the time of possession (52%), created the same number of shooting opportunities as Chaves (seven), however, they were much superior in shots on target (6 to 2). Thus, it ended up the winner. The score indicated 3-2 at the end of the match.
MIDTJYLLAND:
The harsh Danish winter means that there is a long gap without games between the end of one year and the beginning of the next. The first leg of the Europa League round of 16 was Midtjylland's first official match in 2023 at the José Alvalade stadium. The result was much better than their display.
The Portuguese team, who had control of the ball for 65% of the time, created more than three times as many chances to score (16 to 5). However, they showed problems in the quality of their shots. In the shots on target rate, there was equality. There were two shots in the right direction for each side. Ashour put Midtjylland in front in the 32nd minute and the Lusitanians avoided defeat with Coates' goal in the 49th minute.
