Issa Doumbia scored the only goal on 59 minutes after a neat team move. The Lisbon side now have 9 points from three wins in four games and are well placed in the race for a direct last-16 spot.

After the break, Bruno Fernandes pulled one back from the spot (58') and Matheus Cunha struck twice late on (83' and 86') to give Michael Carrick's side the win, even though they finished with ten men. It was United's first victory in nine games.
