Sunderland beats Coventry 2-1 to boost bid for return to Premier League

  • Sunderland won the first leg of the Championship play-off semi-final 2-1 against Coventry City at the CBS Arena on May 11, 2025.
  • Coventry dominated possession but struggled to score because Sunderland played disciplined defense and counter-attacked effectively.
  • Wilson Isidor scored first for Sunderland after 68 minutes, Jack Rudoni equalised quickly, and 20-year-old Eliezer Mayenda secured the winner late in the match.
  • Sunderland ended a scoring drought with Isidor's goal and overcame recent poor form, including five consecutive defeats and a six-game winless streak.
  • The victory gives Sunderland a narrow lead to defend in the second leg at the Stadium of Light on May 13, while Coventry must recover to keep their play-off final hopes alive.
