Sporting draws with Bologna and advances to the Champions League playoffs
Danish player Conrad Harder ensures equality in the second half, which is worth the penultimate spot for the Portuguese team
Summary
Without their top scorer, Swede Viktor Gyokeres, Sporting struggled against Bologna but managed to qualify for the UEFA Champions League playoffs with a hard-fought 1-1 draw at the José Alvalade Stadium. The Italian team, which already had no chance of qualifying, opened the scoring after ten minutes, with Tommaso Pobega. The Portuguese fans had to wait until the 31st minute to celebrate the equalizer, scored by Danish player Conrad Harder, who finished in the penalty area after a great play by João Simões. Sporting took the penultimate spot in the playoffs, in 23rd place, and will face Atalanta or Borussia Dortmund. The draw for the opponents will be next Friday.
