Betting all their chips in the Europa League, Sporting makes this Thursday, February 20, its debut in the round of 32.
He will receive the Basaksehir, from Turkey, at the José Avalade stadium in Lisbon.
The kickoff is scheduled for 14h55 (Brasília time).
The return match was scheduled for February 27.
The Europa League now counts, in addition to the 24 clubs that advanced through its first phase, in groups, with the eight ‘relegated’ of the Champions League.
It was those who were in the third position of their keys in the continental ‘first division’.
They will duel in the round trip system advancing the one who has the highest number of points.
In case of equality, the goal difference is the first tiebreaker criterion. Not being enough, the goals marked as a visitor serve for definition.
If still not enough, at the end of the second match there will be an extra 30 minutes, where the goal away from home follows as a tiebreaker criterion.
The final tiebreaker is the penalty shootout.
