Match report in news

End of match

  • 94'
    FT: Sporting 0-5 Man City!! All over at the Jose Alvalade and the Sporting fans cheer on their side at the end despite the result. Mahrez put City ahead after nine minutes and B Silva scored twice, either side of Foden's goal. Sterling made it five before the hour mark after B Silva had his hat-trick goal chalked off and Sporting were completely outclassed. No way back for them. Thanks for your company and see you again soon!

    I have the feeling this goal will be chalked off.
  • 49'
    B Silva gets a hat-trick!!! Mahrez lays off to KDB and his chipped pass finds B Silva who beats Adan at the back post! That's awful keeping... I think B Silva may be off though.

  • 46'
    Man City get us going again!
  • 45'
    HT: Sporting 0-4 Man City!! Half-time at the Jose Alvalade and since Mahrez's goal in the 9th minute, it's been one way traffic. B Silva scored two either side of Foden's goal. Sporting's defence has been very poor and they've yet to have a shot on goal. The tie is pretty much over. Back shortly!

    45+3: KDB hits over just before the break.

    Three extra minutes.
Goaaaaaal!

  • 44'
    Man City are four up! This is madness!! B Silva this time! Cancelo plays a lovely ball forward for Sterling, he cuts back for B Silva and his effort is deflected off Inacio past Adan! The home crowd are booing now! Far too easy again.

  • 38'
    Man City are absolutely dominant. Sporting don't know what has hit them.
  • 35'
    Foden is caught offside. Shots: 0-6.
  • 33'
    Man City are playing very well and Sporting's defence has been awful. Sporting have tried to attack, but failed to create a meaningful chance and all of that is why the scoreline is the way it is.
Goaaaaaal!
de Manchester City en el 32'
  • 32'
    Foden gets the third!!! Mahrez puts a cross from this near side, Reis and Coates fail to clear and Foden taps in from inside the six yard box!
  • 30'
    Esgaio!! Porro picks out Paulinho who passes to Esgaio and he fires over! Offside is given, but I'm not sure it was off.

  • 19'
    Sporting started the game well, but after the first goal, it's been all Man City. Sporting's defending for the two goals has been woeful.
Goaaaaaal!

  • 17'
    Man City make it two!! Mahrez's corner is not dealt with by the Sporting defence and B Silva hits a stunner which goes in off the bar! Reis should've cleared it and Man City punish the Portuguese outfit!

  • 10'
    Sporting's defence after Foden's shot was absolutely shocking. 2 or 3 players were just standing there with their arms up! They completely stopped...
Goaaaaaal!

  • 9'
    The VAR gives the goal!!! Mahrez's goal counts and I find it rather surprising, but the VAR says it's not off!

Goal disallowed

  • 7'
    Mahrez has the ball in the net, but the flag's up!! B Silva's cutback finds Foden whose shot is well saved by Adan, the ball breaks to an offside KDB and he passes back to Foden who taps in! KDB looks just off to me.
