Fresneda left Benfica-Sporting frustrated, comforted by a rival

Iván Fresneda finished the Benfica - Sporting match very frustrated due to a mistake he made at the end of the game. Sporting’s right-back was quickly consoled by Vagiannidis, his positional rival in the squad led by Rui Borges.

The Spaniard was one of the players who arrived in the best form for the Lisbon derby, which pitted Sporting against Benfica, but he was one of the most frustrated when António Nobre blew the final whistle. At the heart of this frustration was one of the last plays of the match.

As the game entered its final seconds, with the score tied at one and Sporting having an extra man on the field, Fresneda had the chance to pass the ball to Geny Catamo, who was in a good position to threaten Trubin’s goal. However, the Spaniard slipped and was unable to make the pass.

The game ended shortly after, which meant Sporting dropped two points at their rival’s stadium. Iván Fresneda was affected by his slip, and his frustration was evident while the green and white team was still on the pitch at Estádio da Luz.

Fresneda, however, received immediate support from his teammates. Among them, the most notable were Geny Catamo, the player who could have received the Spaniard’s pass, but also Vagiannidis, the Greek right-back who competes with the former Valladolid player for the starting spot at Alvalade.
