Sporting’s B team lost (1-0) to Vizela this Sunday, December 14, in a match counting for the 14th round of Liga 2. The green and whites suffered another defeat, after a run of seven games without tasting defeat.

With this defeat – their third in 14 games this season – João Gião’s men are now in second place in the standings, with 29 points collected. Marítimo is in first, also with 29 points. The lions thus missed their chance to take the lead in the competition.
