Francisco Rodrigues dos Santos' son walks out with Sporting star | OneFootball

Last Sunday, February 15th, Sporting hosted Famalicão at the José Alvalade Stadium and won 1-0, in a match decided in the second half. The victory secured three important points for the Lions, but there was a special moment off the pitch that also marked the night.

For José Pedro, just three years old, son of Francisco Rodrigues dos Santos, the most unforgettable moment was not the result, but rather walking onto the pitch alongside Morten Hjulmand. The boy had the opportunity to step onto the Alvalade turf hand in hand with the Lions’ Captain.

The moment was captured on video by Sporting and shared on the Club’s social media, showing the teams entering the field before the kick-off. In the footage, you can see José Pedro next to the Danish footballer.

Someone who didn’t let the occasion go unnoticed was Inês Vargas, wife of the former CDS leader, who made a point of highlighting it by reposting the video on her social media. The post quickly generated reactions among followers and fans of the green and white emblem.

This season, wearing the Sporting jersey, Morten Hjulmand – valued at 50 million euros – has played in 31 matches: 19 in Liga Portugal Betclic, seven in the Champions League, three in the Portuguese Cup, one in the League Cup, and another in the Super Cup. In the 2,822 minutes he has been on the pitch, the Lions’ captain has scored two goals and made four assists.
