Sporting after a stunning defeat to Brondby at home the week before 2-0 needed to bring their A game to Denmark and they did just that leading 2-0 with the game just twenty seconds in extra time striker Yannick Djalo chipped the ball over the Brondby keeper for the 3-0 win and a come from behind 3-2 aggregate win.
