Arsenal took the lead in the Portuguese capital last week through William Saliba, but two goals either side of half-time for the hosts saw them nudge into the lead.
Their advantage didn’t last long, however, with an own goal from Hidemasa Morita earning The Gunners a 2-2 draw at the halfway stage in the tie.
Victory for Mikel Arteta’s side will see them seal their spot in the quarter-final draw, which takes place in Switzerland on Friday.

Do away goals count?
Away goals are not in use in the knockout stages of this season’s Europa League.
The rule was abolished in 2021/22 with UEFA stating that home advantage is no longer as significant as it once was.
Ties will head to extra-time in the event of a draw on aggregate after 90 minutes, with penalties then used if the two sides still cannot be separated even after the extra half an hour.
