Scored against Sporting but still complains: clearly deserved a red card... | OneFootball

Léo Santos again complained about the expulsion in the Nacional team, in the match against Sporting. The central defender of the island team scored the home team's goal just three minutes into the match, and two days after the end of the game, he still shared some 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 to explain Léo Santos, about the start of the game between the lions and Nacional, counting for the third round of the Liga Portugal Betclic.

The central defender continued with some complaints about the key moment of the game: "Clearly the expulsion hindered our performance, as we were left playing with one less player. I believe we have many good things to take from that game and use for the rest of the season".

"Regardless of the opponent, playing with one less player is always more difficult, although we still created some opportunities, but it's complicated to play with 10," shared Léo Santos, still about that moment when Nacional was reduced to 10 players 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 can take good advantage of aerial balls. I had that opportunity and managed to score."
