The final whistle is blown. Sporting 1-0 Manchester City. The Eagles defy the odds to take a single goal lead to England after Xandão's briliant second-half back-heel. They dominated for long periods and deserved the vicotry, but still have a massive task on their hands if they are to progress.

The referee blows for half-time. Sporting 0-0 Manchester City (Aggregate: Sporting 0-0 Manchester City).
