Sporting Lisbon produced the miracle and qualified for the “quarters” of the Champions League. The formation trained by Rui Borges beat Bodo/Glimt after overtimescore 5-0, after he had lost in the round with a no-show score.

“91:23' Maxi Araujo's goal for Sporting against Bodo/Glimt is the fastest ever scored in extra time in UEFA Champions League history. Turnaround,” note OptaJoe.
The Norwegians from Bodo/Glimt had categorically won the round, score 3-0, and started with the first chance to qualify. However, the Portuguese team managed to make a spectacular comeback and push the double in overtime. Inacio, Goncalves and Suarez scored in regulation time.
The start of extra time was a dream for Sporting. Just a few tens of seconds after the restart, Maximiliano Araujo scored the goal that put Sporting back in the lead, 4-3.
The success of the Uruguayan not only set a record, but also completely changed the dynamics of the duel. Sporting gained confidence and put constant pressure on the opponent, Rafael Nel scoring the 5th goal in the last phase (120+1').
