7th min: Reis slips and is quickly dispossessed by Foden in a very dangerous position on the edge of the Sporting box, but it comes to nothing. 9th min: Just as he's about to shoot, Jesus is kicked from behind in the penalty area, but the referee waves play on. 14th min: Laporte caught with a loose arm from Paulinho, who picks up the first booking of the game. It could be a very long night for the Portuguese giants. 29th min: Sporting have enjoyed their best spell of the game - a couple of minutes of pretty much unbroken passing. 17th min: The connection of Foden and Sterling looks to be key so far. 39th min: Jesus is booked after challenging for a ball on the right touchline, seemingly hurting Rias as he jumped. 66th min: Guardiola is not a happy man on the touchline. 71st min: Sporting have a cross swung in from either side and near-misses with any attacking connection, but it's enough to get the visiting faithful on their feet. The England international tries to chip the goalkeeper, but a strong left hand denies him. Fan-favorite Scott Carson is on for a Champions League knockout-stage appearance - not something he would've expected at the start of the campaign. 91st min: Sterling goes down in the box but no penalty despite the appeals, before Mahrez's magic feet fashion a shot.
