Lucky Aalborg snatched a last-gasp draw, 31:31, as Sporting let a clear lead slip in the first-leg Champions League quarter-final
12 goals from Francisco Costa were not enough for Sporting Clube de Portugal to take their very first victory in a Machineseeker EHF Champions League quarter-final. Ultimately, a penalty from Buster Juul-Lassen saved Aalborg Håndbold from defeat, securing a 31:31 draw — and the reverse fixture next week in Denmark will now see the aggregate score start at 0:0.
