Sporting sent crashing out of Uefa Cup by clinical Rangers

Sporting 0-2 Rangers (agg. 0-2)

Miguel Veloso

Sporting’s hopes of European glory were shattered last night at Alvalade as Glasgow Rangers scored a 2-0 win over the Lisbon club.

Sporting gave themselves a great chance of making it to the last four of the Uefa Cup after a 0-0 draw against Rangers in yesterday’s first leg quarter-final match.

In a game of few chances – neither goalkeeper had a serious save to make throughout the 90 minutes – Sporting fully deserved to come away from a competitive fixture in Scotland undefeated for the first time in six attempts. >>
