Are there any head-to-head statistics, or I assume these sides have never gone at it.

Only catch is they won't face a Greek team in the final...

I guess that's a good thing if this isn't coincidence

They were showing the game on RTPI. Pinilla scored an outstanding goal, but then he had the chance to double his tally by flicking it in and couldn't manage . The commentators had a few laughs about that. That away goal may hurt Sporting though, all Alkmaar need is to win 1-0 to advance now. However, I don't see that happening.

Same here, this result should help Sporting to go through. Yet I would go as far as predicting the following final: Sporting - CSKA ... the Lisbon revenge I was seeking for since CSKA knocked out Benfica

That would be lovely

I think it's very obvious that Sporting have a weak defense, I guess that's why they put so much efficience on offense. I honestly believe they are a very good attacking team and would fair well against some of Europe's top defense's.

 

[O Glorioso]

Sporting goes to the final in a dramatic 3-2 loss but win 4-3 on aggregate.

 

[O Glorioso]

The aggregate was 4-4. Sporting advances thanks to away goals...

Oh my mistake :dielaugh:
