Portuguese face Bolton in next round

Sporting Lisbon cruised into the last-16 of the Uefa Cup thanks to a 5-0 aggregate win over Basle. The Portuguese side were leading 2-0 after their home tie and made their task much easier when they grabbed a crucial away goal after just two minutes. Bruno Pereirinha got the goal, netting into the bottom right corner from long-range. The visitors then doubled their lead four minutes before the interval when Liedson also found the bottom right-hand corner from the same distance. He then completed the victory with his second of the evening on 51 minutes, firing high into the centre of the goal from close range. Sporting now face Bolton in the next round after the English club recorded a fantastic victory over Atletico Madrid.
