- Thanks for keeping me company. Why not <a href="http://soccernet.espn.go.com/live/_/id/1032695/matchday-live---march-8?cc=5739">join Chris Atkins</a> for chat, goals and udpates on the remainder of the evening's action? Cheerio. |
- Quite the performance from Sporting, while City were disappointing, to say the least. A fine goal won this second leg, as defender Xandao backheeled home. Balotelli made a difference when he came on, but it was all too little, too late. The real blow, really, was the injury to Kompany. |
- <b>FULL-TIME: Sporting 1-0 Man City.</b> |
