Manchester City advanced tonight (Wednesday) to the quarterfinals of the Champions League after finishing 0-0 with Sporting Lisbon in the return match and completed 0: 5 in both games. Pep Guardiola’s team completely dominated the game in the first half and reached a number of good situations, but its players were not focused enough and were stopped several times by goalkeeper Antonio Adan.
At the start of the second half, substitute Riyad Mahraz, who was only two minutes on the pitch, put a ball to Gabriel Jesus in extra time, and the Brazilian scored – but was disqualified and the goal was disqualified after a VAR check. Veteran goalkeeper Scott Carson received minutes from Pep Guardiola and provided a great save (76) and the two teams parted ways in a zero-sum draw in a game that was only a record thanks to the English champions’ formidable 0-5 in the first game in Portugal.
