A very good outcome for Sporting after beating Hertha 1-0 courtesy of a 17th minute goal from Adrien Silva. With this win Sporting is standing pretty above Ventspils with a commanding 4 point lead to take control of Group D.
The game wasn't the most exciting game to watch but I can almost guarantee that not one Sporting fan is upset with the outcome. The goal it self was a nice one, but the only thing is that it took a deflection of one of the Hertha defense men which left the goalie defenseless. Although Sporting won they looked very tired during the game. So tired that Portuguese commentators were quoted saying " The Sporting players look like 50 year old men out there."
Overall it was a good outcome for Sporting, the next game is on Oct.22.2009 (10:05 local time - Skonto - Riga - Latvia) were Sporting will be defending their perfect start against second place Ventspils.
