SCU Torreense 1-2 Sunderland: LIVE Europa League Matchday Hub

Sunderland are in Europa League action tonight as they take on Portuguese second tier side SCU Torreense in Leiria, with Regis Le Bris' side desperate for a win following Saturday's 2-0 Premier League defeat to Brighton, and also hoping to continue their winning run in Europe.

96' - SUNDERLAND WIN IT! Sadiki stunner completes comeback for Black Cats in injury time. The second half saw vast improvement from Le Bris' side, and the Frenchman's substitutes were pivotal in swinging the game back in their favour. 

Two wins from two in Europe, in a historic victory for Sunderland after a dramatic affair.

90+4' - SUNDERLAND TAKE THE LEAD! Noah Sadiki completes the comeback! What an unbelievable strike from Sadiki, who runs over to the travelling Sunderland supporters to send them into raptures.

Black Cats finally repaid for patience and efforts with an absolute stunner.

89' - Length VAR check from the referee sees Sunderland end up with no penalty. The right decision, but a bemusing few minutes from the officials. Six minutes of added time.

86' - Penalty to Sunderland, but the referee's call is ruled out due to the linesman's offside flag. Lengthy VAR check ensues...

85' - Xhaka blazes long-range shot over the bar with his weaker right foot.

84' - Another set-piece, another foul blown against Sunderland. The referee is extremely whistle-happy, leading to Mukiele being handed a yellow card for dissent.

83' - Sadiki tries to square the ball across Torreense's six-yard box with Ahoka lurking at the back post, but it's blocked for a corner.

79' - Mukiele barges Torreense defender over to give away free-kick in their box.

76' - Sadiki drives at goal from the left flank but fails to get his shot on target. 

70' - Torreense hanging on against a storm of Sunderland attacks, with Ahoka going close. Pressure ramping up in Portugal...

67' - SUNDERLAND GOAL! Jules Ahoka scores an equaliser for Sunderland with a deft header into the bottom corner after excellent work from Nordi Mukiele down the right flank.

65' - Torreense still proving a threat on the counterattack.

63' - Half an hour for Sunderland to find an equaliser. Tempo has risen after half-time, with subs clearly showing Le Bris' intent to play faster through central pockets.

57' - Quadruple change for Sunderland, with the big guns coming on. Xhaka, Le Fee, Reinildo, and Mukiele in place of Fofana, Methalie, Angulo, and Hume.

55' - Terrific save from Torreense goalkeepr after Angulo's header as Sunderland scramble and fail to convert rebound. Pressure ramping up at last from Le Bris' side.

49' - Fofana and Angulo connect but Ecuadorian could not get his header on target.

47' - Alderete skies free-kick over the Torreense bar in the opening exchanges of the second 45'.

45' - Second half underway in Portugal, no changes from either side at the interval.

Black Cats have dominated territory and possession, with an opening goal from Tutierov ruled out, but go into the interval 1-0 down after a stunning long-range shot from Torreense centre-back Volnei.

Sunderland need to control their emotions and work in possession to get back into the game, and substitutes could and should come from Le Bris at half-time to inject some dynamism into the Black Cats' play.

45' - Following free-kick sees O'Nien confusingly being penalised for an apparent foul, seeing Le Bris become enraged on the touchline as tempers brew for the Black Cats.

44' - Malick Fofana finally does something of note to draw a foul from Torreense defender Jonathan Mutombo, who goes into the book.

37' - TORREENSE TAKE THE LEAD AGAINST SUNDERLAND! - An absolute screamer from Brazilian centre-half Volnei with a long-range rocket that left Robin Roefs rooted to his spot. 

29' - Sunderland battling well in all areas of the pitch, just need to turn their control into chances now.

23' - SUNDERLAND GOAL RULED OUT - Tutierov believed he scored the opener, but unfortunately, it was chalked off by the officials. Why is the question...

21' - Torreense gifting the ball back to Sunderland on several occasions, but Black Cats failing to capitalise.

11' - Teasing ball in from Angulo on the right flank but Tutierov was unable to connect.

9' - Some early fouls from Torreense with a nice intensity to start the evening from both sides.

5' - Early chance from a corner from O'Nien whose header went just wide of the Torreense goal.

17: 45pm - Sunderland kick off the Europa League clash vs Torreense, donning their Elvis Presley-inspired pink strip against the Portuguese side.

17: 44pm - 'Wise Men Say' choruses around the Estádio Dr. Magalhães Pessoa as O'Nien leads Sunderland out in the Europa League. Regardless of how tonight's fixture goes, this is an unbelievably significant moment in the rise of the Stadium of Light outfit.

Just minutes now before kick-off in one of the greatest moments in Sunderland history, Le Bris is relishing the "special occasion", but is well aware that Torreense will not be an easy opponent.

Le Bris told TNT Sports: "It's special, a historic game. I'm pleased for the club, for the fans and the players because they deserve to be in that position. Last season we had a good season to be in this position."

He added on the threat of Torrense: "Like us, they deserve to be in this position. Thy played many good gams last season. They know how to manage difficult opponents. It's going to be tough, tight probably and I'm looking forward to it."

Sunderland boss Regis Le Bris has made several changes after the Brighton loss, with several youngsters starting for the Black Cats.

Highly-rated academy graduate Timur Tutierov given his first senior start for the club in place of the injured Wilson Isidor, Jules Ahoka swapped for Granit Xhaka, Enzo Le Fee rotated for Chris Rigg, and fan-favourite Luke O'Nien captaining the side from League One to Europe in central defence.

Sunderland starting XI: Roefs, Hume, O'Nien, Alderete, Methalie, Sadiki, Ahoka, N. Angulo, Rigg, Fofana, Tutierov
