00:00The Champions

00:04Hi there everyone, welcome to Champions League format's play-off round.

00:08Sporting rather scraped in in 23rd spot, one off the bottom of the qualifiers,

00:13just avoiding outright elimination.

00:16Dortmund, last season's beaten finalist, finished 10th,

00:19narrowly missing out on automatic qualification for the round of 16.

00:23Well, this will be the fifth meeting in European competition between these two.

00:27Sporting have won only four of 31 European matches against German opposition.

00:32Dortmund have a win rate of 64%, that's very high, against teams from Portugal.

00:42We're underway in the first leg here.

00:45Been quite wet in Lisbon today, but dried out for the start.

00:57Here's Matthias Reis.

01:05Pater has blazed it over.

01:12Was offside.

01:13Not at all the decision that's going to trouble VAR.

01:26Short spell in English football and Manhattan Wanderers.

01:36Too many trees.

01:44Fantastic effort from Araujo.

01:47Best strike of the tie so far.

01:50Boom against the bar.

01:51Goalkeeper beaten.

01:53Palpably.

01:58That's an ambitious pass.

02:00It's a very good one.

02:02St. Joost.

02:03And here is Kenda.

02:06Coming in with a lot of intent.

02:08A lot of potential.

02:10On that by Trincao.

02:14Nice now.

02:15They've got four going forward here, Sporting.

02:19And the shot is a stinger.

02:22From distance by Conrad Hader.

02:24Almost from the same spot that Araujo let fly.

02:29Traffic though.

02:30Squeezed it in.

02:32Nicely to Brant.

02:33Girassi.

02:35Now he's got a chance.

02:36He goes down over the leg of Diamande.

02:47Rieson.

02:48Adeyemi.

02:49Sabitzer.

02:51Girassi.

02:52Adeyemi.

02:53It's a great stop by Rui Silva.

02:55Comes out to Brant.

02:56Goalkeepers needed again.

02:57Great play from the new keeper.

02:59He's only been here a few weeks.

03:02And the crowd will take to him.

03:04For this kind of work.

03:07That's a terrific stop from Adeyemi's low shot.

03:12And he was up to get the ball.

03:15As the cross came back in.

03:17Off again with Schlotterbeck.

03:20Girassi waiting in the middle.

03:22And they're looking for him.

03:23Girassi gets to it.

03:25And he scores brilliantly.

03:27And when you are on top.

03:29It's important that you do score.

03:31And Dortmund have done just that.

03:34Straight forward ball in.

03:37And a very good header.

03:40This is any age of football.

03:43Stick it in the box for the big man.

03:46There's a place for it.

03:47In the game of 20-25.

03:49In the Champions League.

03:50And a man in charge of only his second game at the club.

04:00It's a special moment.

04:03From Dortmund.

04:04And some fantastic results.

04:07Of course.

04:09They won away at Paris Saint-Germain in the semi-final.

04:17It's a lovely ball.

04:19And it's met by Pascal Gros.

04:22Another cross.

04:24Another successful conversion.

04:26And Gros, the man of all parts.

04:28He gets into the penalty area as well.

04:31And he flew in on the chance.

04:34Oh, what a time he's having it later.

04:37In life, in a career.

04:39To go to England.

04:41And even then wasn't really appreciated.

04:43Nobody really knew him when he came back to Germany.

04:46Until he probably just got into the international team.

04:49To get this move.

04:51And he found a way to put it in the net.

04:53It's a bit of improvisation.

04:55And he now had to scamper back.

05:04And Kenda has got a way here.

05:07Dietrich with a sight of goal.

05:09I mean.

05:12It's too difficult to defend.

05:14But they have defended it.

05:17Becken by Kenda.

05:20Braganza.

05:25Chandler with the header.

05:29Oh, and that's...

05:32Diamande.

05:34Plenty of power behind it.

05:41The jungle through the ball for the centre-back.

05:44And...

05:46Where the goal was.

05:48It's right over the top of it.

05:50Cinkau.

05:56Here's Adeyemi.

06:00Got Rant up with him.

06:02And Baia's arriving at place.

06:04But Adeyemi will get there first.

06:06And they've...

06:08Taken three now off.

06:11Sporting here in Lisbon.

06:12The counter-attack here.

06:13You see the numbers forward for Sporting.

06:14Adeyemi is perfectly equipped.

06:16To lead the charge.

06:18And to have that acceleration.

06:20To get there.

06:21When the ball was played back.

06:22Put on a plate for him.

06:24By Brand.

06:25It's a lovely counter-attacking goal.

06:26And what a second half it's been.

06:28To the team from the Bundesliga.

06:30Popular scorer.

06:32They'll take it into trouble.

06:34And to have that acceleration.

06:35To get there.

06:36When the ball was played back.

06:37Put on a plate for him.

06:39By Brand.

06:40It's a lovely counter-attacking goal.

06:42And what a second half it's been.

06:43To the team from the Bundesliga.

06:44Popular scorer.

06:46Popular scorer.

06:54They'll take it into trouble.

07:00Braganza.

07:01It's a good early ball.

07:05Come down for Trincao.

07:07And he's good left foot.

07:09Too anxious to get the shot away.

07:10Nice.

07:14Diamonde.

07:15He has the last kick of the game.

07:17Well.

07:18In terms of age of the sides.

07:20It was boys against men.

07:22It didn't look like that in the first half.

07:24In the second half.

07:25It certainly did.

07:27When they found a way.

07:29Two very good.

07:31Crosses from the right-hand side.

07:33Got goals for Guirassi.

07:35His tenth of the competition.

07:37And for Pascal Gross.

07:38And a slide rule one for Ani Yemi.

07:41To make it 3-0.

07:43Sporting gave it their.

07:45Their best.

07:47Mentioned again.

07:48They're desperate to retain their.
