Remember that, at the end of the match with Moreirense, Rui Borges, was questioned by journalists, during the press conference, about the lack of efficiency of the lions, who ended up scoring the first two goals of the match from a penalty kick. The Sporting coach disagreed, and pointed to the statistical data.

"We don't play PlayStation. It's hard to always get it right. I would be worried if we weren't able to create. I just saw that the goal creation percentage was 4.66. I don't remember this happening. In almost all the games at the beginning of this season, we have a very good and above average goal expectation", Rui Borges explained at the time.
