Celtic slayers snap agonising 1826-day losing streak in major Champions League shock

LASK secured their first-ever Champions League victory with a shock 3-2 comeback win against Sporting CP at the Estadio Jose Alvalade on Wednesday night. Luis Suarez put the hosts ahead from the penalty spot after five minutes, but Christoph Lang leveled before half-time. Second-half goals from Sasa Kalajdzic and Krystof Danek sealed the win for the Austrian side, despite a late second goal from Suarez.

The result snapped LASK's eight-game away losing streak in European competitions, marking their first European away win in 1,826 days since defeating Alashkert in 2021. LASK manager Dietmar Kuhbauer praised his team's performance, noting that the back-to-back goals threw Sporting CP completely off balance after earlier defeats to AEK Athens and Liverpool.
