The advantage was doubled in the 61st minute through Pedro Goncalves. Luis Suárez provided the assist and Goncalves fired past Haikin. That goal opened the floodgates, signaling a momentum shift that Bodo/Glimt found impossible to counter.
Suárez then converted a penalty in the 78th minute, coolly slotting it past the goalkeeper to make it three. Substitutions followed on both sides, with Sporting refreshing their attack and Bodo/Glimt trying to stem the tide.
Maximiliano Araújo added a fourth for Sporting CP in the 92nd minute, again assisted by Trincão. Rafael Nel, entering as a substitute, crowned the dominant display. He scored in the 120+1 minute with an assist from Daniel Bragança and made it 5-0.
