Eduardo Felicíssimo makes bizarre error in Sporting B loss to Penafiel | OneFootball

Sporting B were beaten 2-0 away to Penafiel in a match from the third round of Liga Portugal 2. At the Estádio Municipal 25 de Abril, the Lions showed more initiative at several moments, but came up against a more clinical opponent and were beaten after winning in the previous round.

The Sporting side had greater control through possession during the first half, although they struggled to turn that superiority into clear chances. Penafiel also threatened and, in the 39th minute, took advantage of a mistake by Eduardo Felicíssimo while playing out from the back to open the scoring. Davo made no mistake and put the home side ahead after an assist from Max Svensson.

After the break, Sporting increased the pressure and came close to equalising several times. Samuel Justo and Miguel Almeida had chances to score, while Rodrigo Dias came very close to finding the net in the 67th minute when he hit the crossbar.

Penafiel stayed compact and looked to exploit counter-attacks to put the game to bed. After another threat from Max Svensson, the Spanish forward appeared again in the 87th minute, this time played through by Schutte, and wrapped things up with a finish of great quality from a tight angle. With the defeat, Tiago Fernandes’ side are in sixth place with six points.

The starting eleven fielded by the club from Alvalade was made up of Guilherme Pires (Goalkeeper), Rodrigo Dias, Eduardo Felicíssimo, Atanásio Cunha, Rafael Mota, Mauro Couto, Samuel Justo, Mateo Tanlongo (C), Micael Sanhá, Rodrigo Rodrigues and Gabriel Silva.
