Sporting capitalise on Benfica slip-up with easy win at Estoril (3-0) | OneFootball

Sporting’s under-17 team beat Estoril 3-0 this Saturday, June 6, in a match from the 17th round of the Championship Qualification Phase for the under-17 level. The Lions claimed their second consecutive win, after also thrashing Famalicão.

In a match played at the opponent’s ground, the Alvalade club settled everything in the first half. Samuel Tavares opened the scoring for the Lions in the 3rd minute, paving the way for goals from Martim Ribeiro (12’) and Diego Farinha (42’).

In the second half, the green and whites ended up controlling the result. Estoril was unable to show any kind of response to overturn the score, and Sporting were not clinical enough to add more, so the scoreline remained unchanged.

With this victory - their 23rd in 35 matches this season - Pedro Pontes’ side have 29 points and sit in third place, provisionally. Porto are first with 42 points and Benfica second with 31, having allowed this gap to close after a draw. The next and final match is scheduled for Wednesday, June 10, against Vitória SC, at 11:00 am, in Alcochete.

: Guilherme Fortunato, Francisco Cabeçana (C), Alexandre Rosado, Samuel Tavares, Henrique Tavares, Guilherme Figueiredo, Francisco Simões, Afonso Marques, Diego Farinha, David Almeida and Martim Ribeiro.
