Sporting had five new players and also changed their tactics, playing five at the back, focussing strongly on tracking players (Gittens was always being marked by two Sporting players), and changing to a 3-4-2-1 formation in the build-up with a selective high press.  \n<\/p>\nMatch and analysis:<\/b><\/p>\nBoth teams were holding back at the start of the game. BVB did have the upper hand in one respect in the first half (55% possession), but posed no goal-scoring threat apart from the shots taken from a distance by Sabitzer (9, 25, 45). In general, there wasn't enough speed or depth from the Black&Yellows, who created their best chance of the first half in the 25th minute when Adeyemi pulled the ball back for Sabitzer to run onto. Sabitzer took a shot from 16 metres away, forcing Rui Silva to parry. Defensively, the teams were certainly very quick off the mark.  \n<\/b><\/p>\n <img src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/profis/2025/02/19/ucl-spielbericht/94_Sporting2.jpg\" data-assetref=\"94_Sporting2-1739990349282\"><\/p>\nThe second big chance also came from a shot taken from a distance. Following a deflected corner, Adeyemi got to the ball and took a powerful shot on the turn, but Rui Silva was there again (49). Three minutes later, Adeyemi crossed the ball in from the right, and this time Svensson took a shot from a distance - which was powerful and precise -, but once again the Sporting goalkeeper let nothing get past him. Not even a penalty: after an opening pass by Schlotterbeck, Adeyemi broke through and was taken out by Rui Costa. Guirassy took the penalty, but his flat shot was blocked by the keeper at the left corner (59).  \n<\/p>\nSeconds after being brought on, Reyna - after Beier had done a good job to create space for him - hit the post of the Lisbon goal (69). Shortly after, Can scored from a header set up by Ryerson's free kick, but the offside flag went up (73). <\/p>\nOutlook: <\/b><\/p>\nThe draw for the round of 16 will be on Friday at midday (from 12:00 CET).
