Sale started quickly with two tries in the opening 10 minutes, but the momentum has swung in Glasgow's favour with those two Sharks yellow cards.

Glasgow look certain to score after a blistering attack, but Rory Darge knocks on with the line beckoning.

Kyle Steyn released his Scotland team-mate down the right flank, but the chance goes begging.

Glasgow kick their penalty into the corner, but can't capitalise against the hosts' 13-man defence.

Their line-out goes wrong and Sale have a scrum and the chance to clear.

No surprises there.

That would be a yellow card in football too. Tom Roebuck looks slightly bemused, but really he's fortunate that it's only a penalty and not another penalty try.

Kyle Steyn's kick went into touch rather than towards the in-goal line.

This is a great watch.

Kyle Steyn gets on the end of a brilliantly judged kick from Jamie Dobie and after he hacks the loose ball on, the Glasgow captain is wiped out by a slide tackle from England winger Tom Roebuck.

This will surely be another card.

For his role in illegally stopping the Glasgow maul, Sale scrum-half Gus Warr is shown a yellow card.

The hosts are down to 14 for the next 10 minutes.

Glasgow are starting to find their stride.

Dan Lancaster kicks a penalty into the corner.

Glasgow have their first meaningful spell of possession, which ends with full-back Kyle Rowe kicking into open space.

He thinks that was a 50-22 but the officials disagree.

In any case, Sale make a meal of the line-out and Glasgow have the ball back via a scrum.

This time Sale do pile bodies into a maul from their line-out.

They get over the Glasgow line, but are held up by the scrambling Warriors defence.

Another penalty goes the way of the hosts as they try to turn this early dominance into a second try.

Sale are bang up for this.

Another penalty goes their way and they kick their way into Glasgow's 22 once more.

Sale have an early penalty in Glasgow territory and they kick into the corner.

Referee Craig Evans peeps his whistle and we are off.

There is an impeccably observed minute's silence in memory of former Sale lock Hyron Andrews.

There are tears being shed on the pitch and in the stands on what is an incredibly emotional occasion.

Try-scoring bonus points in this season's Champions Cup pool stage will be awarded only to teams who cross at least three more times than their opponents - rather than for simply scoring four or more tries.

It has been felt that losing teams could pick up a four-try bonus point too easily as opponents with a comfortable lead ease off in the final quarter.

There will also be a change in qualification criteria for the last-16 stage.

Previously, the top four teams from each of the four six-strong pools would progress, with home advantage in the knockouts decided by a seeding based on group-stage records.

Only three teams from each of the four pools will now go through automatically, with the remaining four last-16 spots allocated on the basis of table points collected.
