Number of the match1That is how many shots on target Torreense had in the first half, and it was enough for a 1–0 lead.
One shot, one goal. In the 37th minute Volnei converted Amine Oudrhiri's assist and Torreense went ahead. That was the hosts' entire output on target. The shot was on target and went in. Simple, effective, a little cheeky. Sunderland got no reward here for their efforts.
The stats say something different from the scoreboard. Sunderland had 57% possession, to Torreense's 43%. Shots: 3 to 1 to the visitors, corners also 3 to 1. Except that none of Sunderland's shots was on target. The half-time score is Torreense 1–0 Sunderland in Matchday 2 of the Europa League. The efficiency paradox in a nutshell.

Two teams, three points each
Torreense and Sunderland meet in Matchday 2 of the Europa League. Both sides have played one game and both have 3 points. The hosts are 11th, the visitors 16th. So it is positions, not points, that separate them in the table. Torreense are the home side. Sunderland arrive for a game that ends their break from European away trips: their last such appearance came in 1973, more than half a century ago.
Sunderland: away troubles
Sunderland have not yet won an away game this season. In their last eight away games in all competitions they have not kept a single clean sheet and have conceded 16 goals. Their last match was at home: on 10 October they lost 0–2 to Brighton in the Premier League. Maxim De Cuyper and substitute Jaouen Hadjam scored, and Pascal Struijk was sent off in the 57th minute. Since that game the visitors have had 5 days of rest.
Torreense: a long break after a strong start
Torreense have had 28 days since their previous Europa League game. In the first round they won 2–1 away at Norway's Lillestrøm, with goals from Alejandro Alfaro and Manuel Pozo. The team finished that game a man down. In the second division, Tondela beat Torreense 1–0 with a goal from Cascavel in stoppage time (90+10). Torreense were playing with ten men after red cards for Adriel and Mohamed Diadié.
First meeting between the clubs
Torreense and Sunderland have never played each other in an official match. There is no head-to-head history, so other games serve as the reference point. In 7100 matches across all leagues in which the gap in team strength was similar, the home side won 43% of the time, the draw came in 27%, and the away side won 31%. At least 3 goals were scored in 51% of those matches.
Injuries on the visitors' side
Sunderland travel without Brian Brobbey, Habib Diarra and Dan Ballard, who are out with hamstring injuries. Romaine Mundle is still being treated for a long-term knee injury. The data on absentees in the visitors' squad covers Diarra, Mundle and Brobbey.
Torreense's absentees
Two players will be missing from the hosts' squad. Nuha Jatta is suspended and Adama Baradji is injured. Torreense have recently had two games played a man down: the red cards against Tondela and the end of the Lillestrøm game with a depleted side. Sunderland are 16th in the table, Torreense 11th, and both teams have 3 points.
