Turning points
Sadiki’s 90th-minute goal completes Sunderland comeback
Sunderland defeated Torreense 2-1 in the UEFA Europa League League Stage - 2, scoring the last goal in the 90th minute through Noah Sadiki. The result turned a match Torreense led at half-time into a Sunderland victory.
Torreense opened the scoring in the 37th minute when Volnei Feltes finished with an assist from Amine Oudrhiri, making the running score 1-0. Sunderland equalised in the 67th minute through Jules Ahoka, assisted by Nordi Mukiele, for a 1-1 scoreline. Sadiki then struck in the 90th minute after an assist from Granit Xhaka, putting Sunderland 2-1 ahead.
Sunderland’s pressure finally changed the score
The statistics suggested Sunderland had been the stronger attacking side despite falling behind. They held 61% possession, registered 22 total shots to Torreense’s 3 and had 5 shots on goal compared with 1. Their expected-goals figure was 1.82, while Torreense recorded 0.08. Sunderland also won 9 corners and completed 363 accurate passes; Torreense had 2 corners and 213 accurate passes.
Torreense’s goalkeeper made 3 saves, while Sunderland’s goalkeeper made 0. That balance helps explain how Torreense stayed in front until Ahoka’s equaliser and why the late goal was decisive rather than a reflection of an even chance count.
