Playing at the Estadio Alvarve near Faro, both sides made a good start in what was an intense game.

Wolves took the lead when Ruben Neves converted a penalty after 15 minutes, but on the stroke of half-time Sporting were handed a spot-kick of their own.

Former Wolves winger Pedro Goncalves converted it in the last action of the half.

The second half was a cagey and fiery affair, with several bookings, but neither side could force through a winner as Wolves settled for a draw.
