00:00A dead rubber, so significant was the golf in the performances of the two sides in the previous leg.
00:10Whether that turns out to be the case remains to be seen.
00:13There are 90 minutes still to be played.
00:23Well, this really is a great venue. It adds so much character to every game it stages.
00:52Sporting are very much on the brink here and they have 90 minutes to make something happen.
00:57Yeah, the outlook isn't great, Peter. It promises a difficult challenge.
01:03Along with a concerted prolonged effort, I think Lady Luke is probably going to be needed to help their case here.
01:10Of course, a quick goal might just cause sufficient upset, but this remains a very tough ask.
01:17But they know they're going to have to produce something very close to their best.
01:20There's the whistle and here we go.
01:37Sporting were so disappointed to lose in front of their own fans in the first leg.
01:41And you've got to say, it's a result that's left them on the ropes.
01:4690 minutes to bounce back.
01:49He's looking to get there first.
01:51Oh, that's a foul. Free kick's been given.
01:53And he has been fouled there.
02:19Lovely bit of skill there.
02:31And here's Roberto Firmino.
02:33He's had a goal!
02:36He's done very well to get to that.
02:39Well, you can't ask for much more than that.
02:41A difficult moment he simply had to deal with.
02:43Only partially clear.
03:05What a ball! This is turnout!
03:07Oh, shooting chance!
03:09Goal!
03:10It's hardly a surprise, is it?
03:12That's what we're here for.
03:14A player with this wonderful knack of being able to show up and deliver at important times.
03:20Yet, yet, another example.
03:24Perfect placement.
03:25The one place the keeper couldn't reach.
03:27Now, that's what I call finishing.
03:29Right in the corner.
03:30He knew instinctively who was where and didn't need to waste any time weighing things up.
03:35That's a cracking goal.
03:50Big occasion, big goal, crucial lead.
03:53Good take by the keeper.
04:12He's read that well.
04:14Kearney.
04:18There has been just the early goal here.
04:20And it's 1-0.
04:24Classy.
04:25Looses his balance and loses the ball.
04:28That a foul?
04:29Yes, the referee's given it.
04:31And he's there to clear it.
04:57Coutinho.
04:57Now, it's Roberto Firmino.
05:04Cresswell has come steaming up from the back for this.
05:18Oh, good interception.
05:21Forward it goes.
05:22And here's Roberto Firmino.
05:31Well, that looks a foul.
05:33Yep, referee's given it.
05:37Referee has resisted the temptation to go to his pocket.
05:40It's just a stern lecture.
05:42Macio having a look.
06:02Sporting looking to widen the gap even further here.
06:05He's beaten the keeper, but hit the post.
06:09过el.
06:16Oh, thank you.
06:21Oh, thank you.
06:21Oh, thank you.
06:25So, thank you.
06:25Oh, thank you.
06:26I'm happy to let their strikers roam out wide.
06:29I wouldn't want that. No. Well, my worry is that their main threat is being shifted out of contention
06:38Played into the middle
06:51Yeah, Matt's classy
06:57Kenny
06:59Tries to swing it in
07:04Tries to get it clear
07:18And it's Salah
07:21Now it's Roberto Firmino
07:24Great strength too strong for his opponent
07:26Good run
07:28Ultimately thwarted by Ennis
07:30And the finish
07:31Press well
07:45And here's Mohamed Salah
07:49He's gone for it
07:53And he merely went all the way
07:57Well, the run was really impressive
07:59The finish was depressive
08:01And expectations were not met
08:03Defending of the desperate variety
08:21Variety
08:22Hoist it high
08:38Chance to squeeze it through
08:40No, not quite
08:42Nobs it in gently
08:53Noyer deals with it effortlessly
08:56And very well to intervene
09:01Camille Glick
09:05Can he?
09:05Can't get the better of his opposite number
09:21and it's played forward
09:25now it's Mohamed Salah
09:27classy
09:34he's got options out wide
09:43Yanmak has it out wide and in space
09:50last ditch defending but that'll do
09:54goes for goal
09:58big relief it just needed better contact
10:20and it's Salah
10:31Mohamed Salah plays it forward
10:36tries to get it forward quickly
10:40hoists it forward
10:46and it's been intercepted and that will come to nothing
10:50Salah
10:52knocks it away
10:57and it's been taken straight back
11:00and here's Mohamed Salah
11:02tries lifting it over
11:06good ball
11:15and he's there to cut it out
11:17that'll be a throw in
11:20Mohamed Salah goes to the cross
11:29cleared away
11:31that's going to be the final action of the first half
11:36so there you have it
11:37a close half of football
11:39but it still had its moments
11:41but ultimately produced just one goal
11:43I really did think they'd had it
11:48who knows what the next 45 minutes could produce
11:51I love surprises
11:52Sporting
11:54we're in at half time
11:56with a slender
11:56one goal
11:57he's caught in there
11:58it's a free kick
11:59and here's Coutinho
12:28Cresswell
12:30Canny can get it clear
12:33get a throw in
12:36and here's Roberto Firmino
12:47Canny
12:54Decent looking ball
12:59the Amino pushes to get on the end of it
13:04Canny
13:05Canny
13:07Canny
13:10goes looking
13:11towering header
13:13there's a goal
13:15well it certainly livened things up a bit
13:18and that next goal now
13:19is absolutely crucial
13:20great header
13:26made it look easy
13:27well as contact goes
13:28that was tremendous
13:29and it helped him to direct it
13:31exactly where he wanted
13:32into that net
13:33I think when it comes to the aerial department
13:34this fella is definitely no sledge
13:37RZ
13:54RZ will two up
13:56and into a position of real strength
13:58listen it's up to them now
14:00how they think about it from here
14:02because
14:02for me it's crying out
14:04for them to force the issue
14:05and it's Firmino
14:10Coutinho
14:11he can get that clear
14:18that's a throw
14:21whipped in
14:26and through to the goalkeeper
14:29Salah
14:36it's Salah
14:38and it's played forward
14:45Jan Matz
14:49an equaliser that's put the cat amongst the pigeons now
14:53and the fact that it's arrived early in the second half
14:56makes for an intriguing watch to come
14:58they'll be very annoyed with themselves for that
15:00just the keeper to perchance
15:04it's in
15:06and the comeback is complete
15:09looking back at that
15:15that's how you play on the counter
15:17quick and decisive
15:18and ruthless with the finish
15:20I thought it was a stunning stunning regular
15:22there is some activity down on the touchline
15:47it seems there's got to be a change
15:48this looks very much like a shoring up of the rear guard
15:52look only time will tell now
15:54if this is the right decision
15:55but at least the manager hasn't dawdled
15:57you know he's reacted quickly
15:58and it needed that
15:59so now the difference is three
16:03well unsurprisingly Peter
16:05the opposition look completely stunned
16:07I'm not sure they can gather themselves
16:09and it's Coutinho
16:13and he's searching through
16:18Coutinho
16:20Mohamed Salah
16:22and what a corner
16:24Nick is there
16:32and he can get that clear
16:33the ball has crossed the line
16:38and it's a throw
16:39gets it back
16:51Firmino
16:53Jan Matz
16:57it's a loose ball
17:01hoist it forward
17:07he's ruffled a few feathers
17:10but well dealt with
17:11goes long
17:14away from immediate danger
17:17he gets past his man
17:25just brushed off the ball there
17:27he is not one readily to admit defeat
17:31don't be surprised if he tries that again
17:33he's certainly caught him there
17:39it's a free kick
17:39which we're talking to I think
17:44yes it is
17:45always going to be the keepers
18:12and it's Coutinho
18:18look at the defender
18:24bombing forward
18:25great lead
18:27and that could come back to Hortman
18:31when it needed something decisive
18:33he showed too many mixed signals
18:35he's being picked on here
19:00yeah better communication
19:02and lots of contact
19:03seems to be the route
19:05to quietening him down there
19:06and retrieved
19:09albeit perhaps momentary
19:11Rissle's gone
19:15that's a foul
19:15well some of the players here
19:18are letting their emotions
19:20get the better of them
19:21they do have to be careful
19:22this must not be inflamed
19:24any further
19:25so who's he going to be aiming for here
19:34Dink Swan in
19:45neatly flicked on
19:47and they're not going to make any further progress now
19:50Fimino
19:56that was good pressing
19:59forced the error to put an end to it
20:01before things could get even more threatening
20:03Mohamed Salah
20:09and that'll go straight through to the keeper
20:13a single
20:20Nick plays it forward
20:23five minutes left on the clock
20:28Mohamed Salah
20:32Kearney
20:34Yanmat tries to get it forward quickly
20:45it's got through to him
20:51oh that is asking for trouble
20:55massively
20:56not the best of headers
20:59there's officials showing that there will be
21:29three minutes of added time
21:30keepers got good distance on that
21:36nicely measured pass
21:40Mohamed Salah
21:41Mohamed Salah
21:44Kassi tries to clear
21:47Kani
21:51that's it
21:53they are out
21:55beaten in the first leg
21:57beaten again in the second
21:58there is little room for argument
22:00they're the second best
