Júlio Isidro gutted by Sporting's disastrous cup final defeat | OneFootball

Torreense’s victory in the Portuguese Cup final, against Sporting by 2-1 at the National Stadium, continues to have a strong impact and spark many reactions in the Sporting world. The surprising outcome of the match led several public figures who support the Club to comment on Rui Borges’ team performance.

Júlio Isidro mainly highlighted the way Torreense approached the game and the symbolism of the result achieved: “The win was fair and the mythology was fulfilled: David beat Goliath. The 2nd League team took to the field without any inferiority complex, it was surprising and Sporting were a disappointment,” he told the newspaper 'Record'.

Sousa Cintra, meanwhile, was quite critical of the Lions’ performance: “Sporting did nothing to deserve winning the game. They had an obligation to do more, against a club that is still in the 2nd League. Playing in Lisbon and having won nothing this year, I expected a different attitude and more fight. Let this be a lesson to us.”

Vanessa Oliveira also commented on the match, praising Torreense’s attitude and pointing out inconsistencies in the Sporting team: “Torreense were deserved winners and left everything on the pitch, as the saying goes. Disappointed with Sporting’s performance, because they are like this: capable of the best and the worst almost from one day to the next”, she said.
