Scored against Sporting but still complains: clearly a sending off... | OneFootball

Léo Santos once again complained about the sending off in the Nacional team, in the match against Sporting. The central defender for the islanders scored the home team's goal just three minutes into the match, and two days after the end of the game, he still shared a few words about that match.

"We started very well, scoring an early goal, the team behaved very well during the first half, creating difficulties for Sporting", began Léo Santos, about the start of the game between the Lions and Nacional, counting for the third round of Liga Portugal Betclic.

The central defender continued, with some complaints about the crucial moment of the game: "Clearly the sending off disrupted our performance, as we had to play with one man down. I believe there are many good things to take from this game and to use for the rest of the season."

"Regardless of the opponent, playing with one less player is always more difficult, although we still managed to create some chances, but it’s complicated to play with 10," shared Léo Santos, still reflecting on the moment when Nacional was reduced to 10 men in the game against Sporting.

Finally, he reflected on the importance of the goal he scored, on a personal level: "It’s always good to have the opportunity to play and I have been working for that. I was very happy with the goal, that’s what I work for every day. I think I’m good at taking advantage of aerial balls. I had that opportunity and I managed to finish with a goal."
