Sporting Lisbon defender Xandao scored with an audacious back-heeled shot in a 1-0 win over Manchester City on Thursday in the first leg of the last 16 of the Europa League.
Xandao pounced in the 51st minute in a goalmouth scramble after 'keeper Joe Hart had failed to hold Matias Fernandez's dipping free kick or palm it safely out.
Sporting, lying fourth in its domestic championship and playing under its second manager this season, proved to be a tough adversary and had Man City on the ropes for long spells.
