    The secong leg will be held at the San Siro in Milan Tuesday.

    To recap, the first leg of this matchup ended in a nil-nil draw at the Alvalade two weeks ago. Sporting needs either a win, or a to score a goal and finish in a tie to advance.

    Sporting already arrived in Milan with the following 22 players:

    Tiago, Nuno Santos, Quiroga, Contreras, César Prates, Beto, Rui Jorge, Hugo, Marcos Paulo, Rui Bento, Paulo Bento, Valdir, Ricardo Fernandes, Danny, Quaresma, Carlos Martins, Pedro Barbosa, Luís Filipe, Ronaldo, Toñito, Kutuzov and Niculae.

    Some of Sporting’s key players should be rested, as Beto (suspension), Rui Jorge (inury) and Niculae (reserve, limited playing time) will not be suffering from the after-effects of Friday night’s game with Academica.

    I think its going to be 2-1 Inter milan. I want sporting to win but i dont think its going to happen. With Inter playing at home its going to give them an extra boost(remember the world cup, home field could do wonders for the team). However sporting could win, it is likely. I hope sporting doesnt play for the tie, then thell probely lose. They have to come out desperate for the win........................

    Still, no indication that the game will be televised. I am going to check the site throughout the day to see if that changes.

    According to this article, Sergio Conceicao may not be in the starting 11 for Inter. It appears that he will be replaced by Recoba, which makes perfect sense, since Inter completely took over the game when Recoba entered during the first leg.

    I just caught the news report from San Siro on RTPi.

    Here is Sporting's lineup for the game:

    Tiago

    Beto - Quiroga - Contreras

    Caesar Prates - Rui Jorge
    Rui Bento
    Tonito - Barbosa - Quaresma
    Niculae

    So, again Sporting rolls out three centrals and two backs. Paulo Bento does not start, and Niculae is the lone forward.

    Inter has not released its starting 11, but the reporter said that Sergio would not start.

    No, tactical decision. He did not have a great game in Game One, and Cuper wanted Recoba in from the start. I am sure Sergio will be the first player off the becnh for Inter.

    It looks like Recoba is picking up where he left off in the Alvalade:

    11' Início muito interessante. O Sporting já passou por um susto (bem Tiago na saída), mas longe de entrar em campo encolhido, está a discutir o jogo em todos os sectores.


    9' Tiago em grande! O guarda-redes do Sporting saiu a fazer a mancha diante de Recoba, que lhe surgia pela frente. O remate do uruguaio vai contra o corpo de Tiago e a defesa alivia.


    8' Na resposta é Recoba quem, após uma perda de Pedro Barbosa criou um lance muito perigoso na esquerda da defesa leonina. A bola acaba por morrer nas mãos de Tiago.


    7' Grande remate de Pedro Barbosa, a mais de 25 metros da baliza. A bola sai a rasar o poste direito da baliza de Toldo. A primeira oportunidade foi do Sporting!


    4' Tentativa de contra-ataque do Sporting, na esquerda. Quaresma tenta entrar em drible mas é desarmado, a defesa do Inter afasta o perigo.


    3' Bom início do Sporting, que assume a iniciativa inicial. Pedro Barbosa, na esquerda, vai segurando a bola e colocando o Inter em respeito.

    More action. Quaresma on the attack for Sporting, just missing out on a goal.

    19' Espectacular jogada individual de Quaresma! Tira Zanetti da frente com um drible sensacional e remata forte, do bico da grande área. A bola sai um pouco ao lado...


    17' Passe em profundidade de Dalmat, que Tiago tenta anular. Mas a saída do guarda-redes é mal medida, a bola fica à mercê de Materazzi, que remata contra as mãos de Tiago.


    15' Remate de Di Biagio, de fora da área. A bola sai ao lado.


    14' Rui Bento ameaça uma perda de bola perigosa, mas redime-se com um corte sensacional. Depois, lança Pedro Barbosa, que após lance individual brilhante remata ao lado do poste esquerdo da baliza do Inter.

    It looks like the game is going back-and-forth, with each team creating good scoring opportunities:

    26' Jogo interrompido para ser prestada assistência a Toñito, que ficou lesionado depois de um choque com Toldo.


    25' Mais um lance perigoso para a baliza de Toldo. Livre de Pedro Barbosa na esquerda, Niculae, ao segundo poste, e apertado por Cordoba, cabeceia com pouca força, ao lado.


    24' Grande oportunidade para o Sporting! Rui Jorge marca um livre na esquerda, Quiroga faz o desvio, a bola bate em Coco, e ganha um efeito caprichoso, obrigando Toldo a defesa muito difícil para canto.


    22' Boa combinação entre Quaresma e Pedro Barbosa. A tabelinha, à entrada da área, fica um pouco longa, Toldo sai e anula o lance.


    20' Livre perigoso para o Inter, em posição frontal. Recoba remata em arco, a bola sai um pouco ao lado...

    Inter goal -- DiBiago (31') heads in a Dalmat corner to give the nezzazzuri a 1-0 lead at home. Sporting now has its work cut out. Remember, though, a 1-1 draw favors Sporting.

    The teams once again squander dangerous opportunities. Go Sporting. We NEED a goal.

    36' Livre muito perigoso a favor do Inter, por falta de Contreras sobre Vieri.


    35' Grande oportunidade para o Sporting! Quaresma foge na esquerda e serve Niculae, que em posição frontal não onsegue o desvio. A insistência de César Prates perde-se na defesa italiana.
