First-half strikes from Bryan Ruiz and Bas Dost ensured Sporting CP got their first points in Champions League Group F as the eased to a convincing 2-0 win over Legia Warsaw.
Sporting were beaten 2-1 by Real Madrid on matchday one, but they collected a much-needed victory on Tuesday as Jacek Magiera's debut in the Legia dugout ended in defeat.
Magiera was appointed following the dismissal of Besnik Hasi last week after a run of four games without a win – including the 6-0 hammering at the hands of Borussia Dortmund two weeks ago.
However, his side were second best for much of Tuesday's contest, deservedly falling behind when Ruiz netted 28 minutes in, with Gelson Martins having previously squandered a gilt-edged chance.
Sporting made their domination pay before the interval, Dost adding a second with his fifth goal in as many games for Jorge Jesus's side.
Miroslav Radovic should have converted a consolation for the visitors late on, but Legia could muster little as Sporting, who host Dortmund next, cruised to victory.
