Rafael Nel finished off a superb Champions League last-16 second-leg comeback for Sporting CP, who beat Bodo/Glimt 5-0 on Tuesday to win 5-3 on aggregate.

Bodo had looked to be in a commanding position after their 3-0 victory in the first leg, but their chances at Estadio Jose Alvalade were few and far between as they missed out on the quarter-finals.

Sporting raced out of the blocks, and pulled their first goal back in the tie in the 34th minute, with Goncalo Inacio rising highest to nod Trincao's corner into the net.

Odin Bjortuft saw a header strike the crossbar before looping up and hitting the woodwork a second time just before the break, but Sporting were back on top in the second half.

It took them until the 61st minute to get their second; Luis Suarez squared it to Pote after a lightning-quick counter-attack, and he rifled it into the roof of the net.

Fredrik Bjorkan was then penalised for a handball following a VAR review, with Suarez confidently firing Sporting's third goal past Nikita Haikan, sending the goalkeeper the wrong way to level the score on aggregate.

Nuno Santos almost snatched a win for Sporting in the 83rd minute, but his low, drilled effort rebounded off the post, much to the relief of a helpless Haikan.

In extra time, Maxi Araujo took just 83 seconds of the added period to put Sporting in front for the first time on aggregate, swerving his finish past Haikan, before Nel emphatic finish into the roof of the net rounded things off in the 121st minute.

Data Debrief: A comeback to remember

This is not the first time Sporting have overturned a three-goal deficit to progress from a knockout-stage tie in major European competition, but it is their first in the Champions League.

They were on the front foot from the off, and finished with 38 shots, with 14 of those hitting the target as they accumulated 3.35 expected goals (xG).

It is the joint-most attempts by a Portuguese side in the Champions League on Opta's record (since 2003-04), after Braga had 38 against Cluj in September 2012.

And while this is a match that will live long in Sporting's memory regardless, it was also one to savour for Nel, who scored on his Champions League debut.
