Bodø are likely to go through given they have a 3-0 home victory in the first leg. However, it would be possible for Sporting to go through if they nick the first goal as the Norwegian side may have their confidence drop.
In the second minute, Trincao had the chance to make the score 1-0 to Sporting with a header that went high of the goal when he was unmarked and free in the box. Sporting had another chance in the fourth minute but were unable to take it. Sporting were all over Bodø without scoring as Trincao had other chances to give Sporting the lead in this first half. Luis Suarez had the next chance to make the score 1-0, but the goalkeeper makes a good save to his left hand side.
In terms of the shape, for Sporting Lisbon, Hujlmand joins Inacio and Quaresma to form a 3 at the back in the build-up. Sporting have been finding a way to find a goal and have been piling up pressure on Bodø. Getting the ball to Geny has been a tactic for Sporting as he has quick feet and is able to take a player 1 on 1. Araujo and Geny are the ones staying wide trying to isolate the Bodo defenders and get the ball into the box.
It’s been all Sporting in the first half, as they are not afraid to commit men forward to get that elusive opening goal. Sporting got their goal from a set-piece which reminds me of Arsenal. It was the left-footed center-back Goncalo Inacio, which as I predicted earlier, may cause Bodø/Glimt to panic. Sporting have bossed this first half, and a 1-0 win actually seems to flatter their opposition as they have run this half quite easily, forcing the Bodø goalkeeper to do some work.
