The game started off as it would carry on, with CSKA seeing a lot of the ball and struggling to get through the two deep lines that Sporting had, the first real moment of intrigue was a possible penalty shout for CSKA, the ref saw little and play continued

The first real opportunity came for Sporting as they benefitted from a wild pass, which went out from a corner, but little came from the set-piece

The first goal came from a mazy dribble by Tosic, picking it up on the right touchline and instantly moving towards the goal, and once he got in the box he became even harder to tackle, so scared were the Sporting defenders of giving away a penalty and then came an unstoppable shot into the top left corner with his sweet left foot. 1-0.

Almost instantly the old adage was proved true, that you are at your most vulernable after you have scored as Sporting Lisbon worked the ball up field and into the area with Izmailov, who appeared to be tackled - but great determination saw him recover the ball and have a 2v1 with the GK, surely he'd pass? No! He took a shot, which was expertly saved by the 'keeper, but alas to no avail, as Izmailov was able to head in the rebound. 1-1

The second half began in similar fashion to the first, CSKA through Vagner Love looking to break down the stubborn defence of Sporting, and it was Vagner Love who went closest first, firing a shot towards the bottom corner but at the last minute was tipped round the post

Later in the game, Sporting were able to have some joy with Jeffren down the right after a missed tackle by the LB and he got into a position to cross, and van Wolfswinkel headed over when a goal seemed likely.

And he was to pay for this miss as moments later, a long ball was played forward to Love who accelerated past defenders and fired a shot low into the near post, beating the GK. 2-1. Twice Rui Patricio had been beaten at his near post.

And as Sporting ultimately had to throw more men forward, a third goal followed. CSKA won a corner after a cross was blocked from behind, and from the resulting corner, Brezutskiy challenged for the header and the ball fell kindly for him to place one low in off the far post for the clinching goal. 3-1.
