Will Porter (Marcus Smith con)
Lovely stuff from Will Porter and Harlequins are right back in this at the start of the second half!
The scrum-half picks up the ball from a ruck, dummies and darts through a gap to score.
Marcus Smith kicks the extra two and we've got a level game in .

Glasgow 33-12 Sale
Glasgow lock Scott Cummings takes out Sale full-back Joe Carpenter in the air, but gets away with just a penalty.
He's extremely lucky to not get yellow carded there.

Kyle Steyn
Glasgow Warriors back on Premier SportsThere's no better way to start your European campaign at home. Only George Horne could manage to pick up hat-trick and a yellow card in one half of rugby.
We'll probably feel that we let them score a bit easy. Job's not done so there's a big 40 in front of our fans.

All to play for after the break...

Wame Naituvi
What a finish.
Racing have had to soak up plenty of Quins pressure in this first half but they ruthlessly expose their visitors at the other end.
Several players keep the ball alive before it ends up with Wame Naituvi and the winger does the rest, cutting in off his right foot and powering to the line.

Glasgow 26-12 Sale
Wow.
Sale thought they were away after a rare Sione Tuipulotu error, but Sebastian Cancelliere brilliantly catches Arron Reed's kick before launching a mighty kick of his own that bounces into touch in Sale's 22.
It's a Glasgow lineout, and a chance for a fifth first-half try.

Glasgow 26-12 Sale
Speaking of George Horne, he has returned to the fray after his spell in the sin bin.
Glasgow win a breakdown penalty after top jackling from Sebastian Cancelliere.
The hosts kick their way into Sale's 22 again...

Arron Reed
I can hardly keep up with this. Sale are in again.
With Glasgow's defence tied in centrally, fly-half Robert du Preez goes wide to Scotland international Arron Reed, and with his pace, it's practically a walk in.
Du Preez's conversion attempt is dragged well wide.
No try - Chandler Cunningham-South (Harlequins)published at 22 mins
Racing 92 7-5 Harlequins
Quins are over in almost the same area of the field as Alex Dombrandt's opening try, but this time, Chandler Cunningham-South is cleverly held up by Wame Naituvi.

Huw Jones
Glasgow aren't fussed by their numerical disadvantage, and wrap up the bonus point inside 25 minutes.
Rory Darge blasts his way over the gain-line, Sebastian Cancelliere plays scrum-half and floats a lovely over the top to Huw Jones who glides in to score.
Tom Jordan takes over kicking duties and splits the posts.
Penalty try Glasgow 19-7 Salepublished at 23 mins
Sale hit back thanks to a powerful rolling maul.
Glasgow halt it illegally just inches from the line, and referee Andrea Piardi marches under the posts to award a penalty try.
George Horne is also sin-binned for dragging down the maul - he's at the centre of everything out there for Glasgow, good and bad.
