Summary

Timur Tutierov's first goal for Sunderland came just a minute into their Europa League match against Lech Poznan, but it wasn't enough to secure a win as the game ended in a 1-1 draw.

The 21-year-old striker made a strong impression early on, scoring the fastest goal of the season in the competition. He capitalized on a mistake from Mateusz Lis, nodding in Nilson Angulo's cross shortly after kickoff. This marked a promising start for Tutierov, who has recently joined the first team following injuries to Brian Brobbey and Wilson Isidor.

Despite dominating the game with a total of 25 shots—11 of which were on target—Sunderland struggled to convert their chances into goals. Notably, Angulo hit the post, and a series of missed opportunities kept the scoreline tight.

Lech Poznan, who had previously lost their first two group matches 4-0, found their equalizer in the 70th minute. Substitute Martin Bengtsson scored after a corner, firing through a crowd to beat Robin Roefs at his near post.

Sunderland continued to push for a second goal, with Chris Rigg coming close, but ultimately, they were unable to reclaim the lead. The Black Cats remain unbeaten in the Europa League, now sitting on seven points after three matches.

Key Moments from the Match:

  • 2': GOAL! Tutierov scores the fastest goal in this season's Europa League.
  • 3': Roefs makes a superb double save from Radoslaw Murawski.
