This is a must win for #BVB. Rose with Malen and Brandt up front Reinier does indeed get a rare start. Sporting on paper with a 3-4-3 formation. #SCPBVB

#BVB have won all three previous #UCL matchups against Sporting. All stats once again via @Transfermarkt.

Just a quick correction on the lineups. Schuls was a late replacement for Guerreiro. #BVB

Phew! That's been a tough watch thus far... #BVB have the majority of the possession but it hasn't been dangerous. Sporting are also on the pitch...

Reinier has slotted into that number 10 role. This is supposed to be a big opportunity for him but we haven't seen much of him yet.

GOOOOOOL! #SCPBVB 1-0! Brutal! #Sporting have been non-existent and then score with their first opportunity. Pedro Goncalves the scorer.

This is so very #BVB this season. They haven't been convincing at all this season. Also a defeat by two goals or more tonight will see Borussia Dortmund go out of the #UCL.

GOOOOOOOOOL! #SCPBVB 2-0! What! A! Goal! Pedro once again! #BVB are in big trouble now. If that result stands they are out of the #UCL.

HT! #SCPBVB 2-0. It is another poor #BVB performance. #Sporting pretty much non-existent until they scored the opener. The second goal by Pedro was amazing. Anyhow halftime stats.

As for Reinier, it is unbelievable that #RealMadrid once paid €30m for him. I think that experiment with him on the pitch right now should be ended at halftime. #BVB

Another #Sporting breakaway ends with a fantastic stop by Kobel. Imagine #BVB hadn't made that signing, he has given them a chance no matter how poor the guys in front of him have been.

Goal #BVB?

That was offside.

Excellent pressure by #BVB right now. But that should give #Sporting some excellent opportunities to hit the Black and Yellows on the counter.

Emre Can is off! That's #BVB's #UCL season likely done. What a dumpster fire!

That is so very unbelievable, Can came on playing 300 miles an hour but he was very much head through the wall.

That's a foul by Zagadou. #Sporting could get a penalty right here. #SCPBVB

The one serious question I have, when did Borussia Dortmund sign this Marco Rosso guy the DAZN commentator keeps on talking about...?

Penalty for #Sporting!

GOOOOOOOL! #SCPBVB 3-0! Kobel stops the initial shot but Pedro Porro buts away the rebound. #Sporting are through and #BVB are out of the #UCL.

That's a disaster on so many levels for #BVB. Yes there are some mitigating circumstances, the red card today, the one against #Ajax, which was a terrible decision by UEFA overall. But on the other hand, Dortmund have played poor football for weeks now.

TOOOOOOOOR! #SCPBVB 1-3! Malen! That's one! There is just enough time to get one more.

FT! #SCPBVB 1-3! Malen's goal too little too late for #BVB. Dortmund are out of the #UCL and #Sporting advance.
