Khaberni - Sporting Lisbon achieved a historic comeback by winning 5-0 against their guest Bodo Glimt and qualified for the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League with a total score of 5-3 over the two legs.
Sporting Lisbon joined a very narrow historical list, becoming only the fifth in the history of the UEFA Champions League to qualify after losing the first leg by three goals or more.
Bodo Glimt is the first team in the history of the UEFA Champions League to enter with the same starting lineup for six consecutive matches.
Inacio Goncalo scored Sporting Lisbon's first goal with a header in the 34th minute, following a corner taken by Francisco Trincao.
Pedro Goncalves doubled the score for the Portuguese team in the 61st minute, after a pass from Luis Javier Suarez, finishing a perfect attack for Sporting.
The atmosphere at "Jose Alvalade" stadium heated up following Sporting's second goal, which made the comeback very possible, despite the Norwegians' solid defense.
The referee returned to the VAR technology to award a penalty to Sporting, successfully taken by Luis Suarez in the 78th minute, making the score 3-0.
Maximiliano Araujo turned the tables on Bodo Glimt, when he scored the fourth goal for Sporting at the start of the first extra half, with a shot from inside the box.
Substitute Rafael Neil delivered the coup de grace to Bodo Glimt with a fifth goal in the 120+1 minute, following a fatal defensive error from the Norwegian team.
Sporting scored 4 or more goals in a UEFA Champions League knockout match for the first time since September 30, 1970, when they defeated Maltese Floriana 4-0.
