"Sporting Clube de Portugal have made it a third of the way back towards equality, Goncalo Inacio flashing in a header from a right-wing corner on 34 minutes. The home side should have already been leading, truth be told, but Francisco Trincao had earlier sent a header over the bar."
"The Norwegian underdogs look a bit sharper in this second half. They're enjoying more possession they only had 37 percent of it in the first period and throwing more men forward. A goal would send Sporting back to square one and surely knock out their stuffing."
"An early blow in the second half for Sporting. Morten Hjulmand cynically drags back Ole Didrik Blomberg, and goes into the book. That means the Sporting captain would miss the first leg of the quarter final if he and his side complete the comeback."
