Last-minute goal puts Sporting nine points clear in the league | OneFootball

The Sporting youth team defeated Farense (1-0) this Saturday, December 13th, in a match for the 15th round of the Under-15 First Division - South Series Phase 2025/26. The lions return to victories, after the thrashing in the last round.

Playing at the home ground of the Algarve team, the lions started the match well, but goals were hard to come by. Despite some chances created in the first 40 minutes, Sporting couldn't find the back of the net, and the halftime arrived with a goalless score.

In the second half, the story seemed similar. Sporting enjoyed control of the game but couldn't find a way to beat the opposing goalkeeper. In injury time, at 80+1', the lions finally scored the much-desired goal, by João Rodrigues, confirming the green and white victory.

With this victory - the 13th in 15 games this season - António Cruz's team now has 41 points and occupies the first place on the table, with nine more points than Benfica (32, but with one less game). In the next round, Sporting will host Barreirense. The match is scheduled for Wednesday, December 17th, at 6:30 PM, at the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy.

The team presented by the Alvalade Club was composed of: Gustavo Teixeira, Dinis Oliveira, Bernardo Lavos, Nicolas Aparício, Simão Margato, Luís Gonçalves (C), Igor Ribeiro, Bernardo Busatori, Laurindo Mendonça, Jacobo Aparício, and Aladje Conté.
