Pedro Gonçalves and Ivan Fresneda are now at risk after the Benfica - Sporting match. The Lions and the Eagles met at Estádio da Luz, in a game that ended in a 1-1 draw, in a match corresponding to the 13th round of Liga Portugal Betclic.

Sporting entered the match with no players at risk of suspension in the national championship, but by the end of the game, Rui Borges had double trouble. Pedro Gonçalves and Iván Fresneda both saw their fourth yellow card in this edition of Liga Portugal Betclic, and are now at risk of missing one of the upcoming league games.

Pedro Gonçalves, it should be remembered, was one of the standout players of the match, scoring the opening goal as early as the 12th minute. The green and white player was substituted in the second half, and it was while he was already on the bench that he ended up receiving a yellow card from António Nobre for protesting.

Iván Fresneda, who took charge of Sporting's right flank alongside Geny Catamo, also found himself in the same situation. The Spanish full-back had only three yellow cards, but the booking in the 72nd minute, for pulling an opposing player, left the defender on the brink. He will miss a game if he receives another yellow card in the league.

The Lions went to Estádio da Luz and drew 1-1 in the 13th round of Liga Portugal Betclic. Pedro Gonçalves put the green and whites ahead, but Sudakov equalized the game still in the first half.
