What an end to the first half! It had all the action, including a goal, yellow card, saves and lung-bursting runs. Sporting CP leading at the break but its Bodo/Glimt who are still in the driver's seat with a 3-1 aggregate lead.
Sporting 1-0 Bodo/Glimt (1-3 agg)
If Sporting get a goal before the HT break, things could really be interesting for the rest of the game. Remember, the Portuguese side have not played a game in their domestic league this weekend as it was postponed, so they had a week's rest.
Sporting 1-0 Bodo/Glimt (1-3 agg) 40'
Finally the hosts have a goal via a corner. A great delivery sent in by Trincao with Gonçalo Inácio meeting the end of it and puts his team in the lead. The fans are in full voice again and they will start to believe. Sporting CP are two goals behind now.

All that pressure from Sporting CP has been thwarted away by the Norwegians who have kept it 0-0. The early pressure has sort of fizzled out with the home team having chances in moments.

25 minutes yet and it's still 0-0 between the two teams. It's mere 'oohs and aahs' from the home fans as their team find no cutting edge in front of the Bodo goal.
Sporting 0-0 Bodo/Glimt (0-3 agg) 25'
Sporting enjoying 72% of the ball in first 15 minutes of the game and rightly so. Bodo do not have to do anything here, and they are protecting their 3-0 first leg lead.

And we are away in Lisbon as evening's first Champions League tie between Sporting CP and Bodo/Glimt takes centrestage.
Sporting 0-0 Bodo/Glimt (0-3 agg)
We are minutes away from the kick-off at the José Alvalade Stadium with Sporting CP looking to make a fast start and put their opponents on the back foot.
Maximiliano Araujo and Pedro Goncalves have served their suspensions and will return to the Sporting CP side. However, they will be without Fotis Ioannidis and Ricardo Mangas – both out with knee injuries – and Geovany Quenda (broken foot). There are also question marks about the fitness of Giorgi Kochorashvili.
Meanwhile, Bodo/Glimt have no injury problems and will likely field the same playing XI they have used in their last five Champions League matches.
Bodo/Glimt clinched their fifth straight Champions League win last week and have a strong record when leading by three goals after the 1st leg in UEFA ties. The Norwegian side are aiming to become the first Norwegian club to reach the quarter-finals since 1997.
The match between Sporting CP and Bodo/Glimt will be played on Tuesday, March 17, 2026 at 11:15pm IST at Estádio José Alvalade in Lisbon, with Swiss referee Sandro Schaerer in charge.
