- Bengtsson equalised in the 70th minute.

## Summary

Sunderland’s 1-1 draw away to Lech Poznan ended their winning start in the Europa League, though they remain unbeaten in the competition. The result matters because it leaves their European record intact while showing how a promising lead slipped away.

Timur Tutierov scored in the second minute, heading in after Nilson Angulo intercepted a weak pass and crossed. Sunderland hit the woodwork through Malick Fofana and forced several saves, but Lech substitute Leo Bengtsson equalised with a low shot in the 70th minute; Sunderland made six changes from their defeat by Bournemouth.
