The win moves Sporting into 4th-place in the Portuguese Liga.
Elsewhere in Europe, Michael Bradley went 74 minutes for Chievo in a 3-0 loss to Lazio. Chievo trailed by a goal when Bradley subbed out, his absence a rarity this season. Jozy Altidore played the second-half for AZ in a 2-0 loss to Roda JC. The final score was already set before Altidore subbed on with Roda scoring in the 10th and 33rd minutes. Altidore was yellow carded in the 80th minute. Sacha Kljestan went 76 minutes for Anderlecht in a scoreless draw with Germinal Beeschot.

Simeon Jackson scored the winner in the 85th. Jonathan Spector got the start for Birmingham City in a lopsided 4-0 win over Sheffield United. Same score but the wrong end of the result for Frank Simek and Carlisle, who exit the Cup after losing 4-0 to Hartlepool.
And again with that 4-0 score line, this time in the Scottish Premier League. Rangers took care of Hibs 4-0 with Maurice Edu and Carlos Bocanegra starting.
