Ligue 1 club Lyon held off Crystal Palace 3-2 in the Europa League on Thursday, while Sunderland made a late comeback to break the hearts of Portuguese second-division side Torreense.
Kamada smashed home a second for Palace with nine minutes on the clock but the home side held out to make it two wins from two to start the league phase.
Ibrahim Maza added a late fourth. JUVENTUS FOOTBALL CLUB The 15th-placed side in Portugal’s second division stunned Sunderland in the 37th minute as centre-half Volnei Feltes cut past a flimsy challenge and unleashed a piledriver 30 yards from goal, which left Robin Roefs rooted to the spot. Club-record signing Goncalo Ramos made it four on 72 minutes before a red card for Filippo Terracciano took some of the sheen off the win for Ruben Amorim’s men.
Czech striker Patrik Schick was on target twice from the penalty spot in the first half, either side of a Malik Tillman goal, to ensure the points were wrapped up for Carles Martinez’s side before the interval.
Black Cats boss Regis Le Bris sent on first-team regulars Granit Xhaka and Enzo Le Fee just shy of the hour and the move paid dividends as Jules Ahoka struck shortly afterwards to level the scores.
Bayer Leverkusen sit pretty at the top of the standings as they followed up their opening 2-0 win with a 4-0 success at Polish side Lech Poznan.
