Ghana forward Patrick Twumasi scores for Astana in their 3-3 stalemate with Sporting Lisbon in the UEFA Europa Cup at the Estadio Jose Alvalade on Thursday night.

After the recess, Bruno Fernandes bagged brace to restore the hosts lead but two late goals from Dmitriy Shomko and Twumasi ended the match in a six-goal thriller.
Sporting Lisbon advanced to the next phase of the competition on 6-4 aggregate.
He lasted for 87 minutes of the match but Lumor Agbengenu did not make the match day squad for the victors.
