Match Report

Tottenham Hotspur went to Portugal to play Pacos de Ferreira with a very young and completely rotated squad. They’ll return home with a loss in the first leg of their Europa Conference League play-off series. Lucas Silva scored in extra time of the first half on a breakaway after Harry Winks coughed up the ball in midfield and Cameron Carter-Vickers and Cuti Romero weren’t able to recover defensively. Spurs never recovered, and fell 1-0 in Portugal, taking a slight deficit into the return leg at White Hart Lane next Thursday.
