Bodø/Glimt captivated the football world with an improbable winning streak. After beating Man City and Atlético de Madrid in the last two matchdays of the league phase to reach the playoff round, the northernmost team to have played in the Champions League defeated Inter Milan —last season's runners-up— both home and away to advance to the round of 16. Winning 3-0 last week at their Aspmyra stadium, with a capacity of 8,000, was not enough against Sporting, who dominated from start to finish in the second leg and scored through Gonçalo Inácio, Pedro Gonçalves, and Colombian Luis Suárez to take the match to extra time.
