Disappointment! Sporting's comeback falls short in Europe (2-2) | OneFootball

Sporting’s women’s football team drew 2-2 with Brondby at the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy in the second leg of the second qualifying round of the Europa Cup, bowing out of the competition after a 4-1 defeat in the first leg.

The opposition ended up starting the match better, but it only took a few minutes for Micael Sequeira’s side to take control. Sporting’s first goal came in the 20th minute through Carla Armengol; however, before half-time, Mila Bischoff equalised from a free-kick (42'), with Cassie Coster being lobbed.

Even so, Sporting kept trying to fight for qualification for the round of 16, which was looking increasingly out of reach. The 2-1 for the Lionesses came in the 61st minute, from a set-piece move finished off by Emma Ramírez. With the win seemingly on course, Rakel Engesvik, formerly of Benfica, restored parity (84').

Micael Sequeira’s side, who were coming off a draw with Braga in the Liga BPI, therefore say goodbye to one of their objectives for the season. The Lionesses’ next match is scheduled for Sunday, 18 October, at 5:00 pm, against Torreense, for the fourth round of the national championship.
