Karim Adeyemi (8/10) - Karim made an immediate impact on this game as a starter. He was the only clear attacking threat in the first half with his unparalleled sprinting. While his decision-making could have been better at times, he remained a constant threat in the second, killing the game 3-0. 

Jamie Gittens (5/10) – Gittens had a couple of decent runs into the box but was foiled by Sporting’s defense, even when he had teammates open. He needs to pick his head up a bit more and link up with those around him because he was ineffective for the sixty-five minutes he played. 

Serhou Guirassy (9/10) – The Guinean striker was accurate with each of his three shots. The best was a world-class header lobbed over the keeper to open the scoring. Minutes later, he set up Pascal Groß to double the lead. This is what should be expected of a player of his caliber.
