Rui Borges made a point of speaking with his players after the final whistle of the last game. Sporting ended up defeating Moreirense 3-0, in a match for the sixth round of the Liga Portugal. Despite the expressive score, the lions faced a tough task and only opened the scoring in the last 15 minutes.

The coach of the Alvalade Club gathered his players in the locker room at the Estádio de Alvalade. According to information reported by the newspaper A Bola, the coach from Trás-os-Montes praised his team's emotional balance, even when the various opportunities created were not converted into goals, against a well-organized opponent.

According to the same source, Sporting's performance met what Rui Borges asked of his players, demanding patience in the approach and interpretation of Moreirense's dynamics, which had already been studied in preparation for this game. The native of Mirandela knew he would face a team comfortable playing in a low block and that he would face a goalkeeper in good form, with André Ferreira.

In conclusion, the lions' coach offered words of support to his players and stated that, despite the home defeat against Porto, the green and white team is on the right path to achieving the main goal of the season, the championship title.

After the victory over Moreirense, Sporting will return to the field next Saturday, September 27, against Estoril, in a match for the seventh round of the Liga Portugal Betclic. The match against the team led by Ian Cathro will be played at 8:30 PM, at the Estádio António Coimbra da Mota, the opponent's ground.
