Sporting Lisbon produced a stunning 5-0 victory after extra time to overturn a three-goal first-leg deficit against Bodo/Glimt and reach their first Champions League quarter-final since 1983.
Sporting Lisbon made history on Tuesday, becoming only the fifth team to overturn a three-goal first-leg deficit in the Champions League knockout rounds.
After a dismal 3-0 loss in the Arctic Circle last week, the Portuguese side stormed back at the Estadio Jose Alvalade.
Goncalo Inacio opened the scoring before Pedro Goncalves and a Luis Suarez penalty forced the tie into extra time.
The dramatic comeback was sealed in the additional period as Maximiliano Araujo and Rafael Nel found the net to secure a 5-3 aggregate win.
This landmark victory sees Sporting reach the quarter-finals for the first time since the 1982-83 season.
The result leaves Bodo/Glimt stunned after their dominant first-leg advantage evaporated under intense pressure from the hosts during a memorable night in Lisbon.
