Sporting back to winning ways with thrashing of Portuguese football giants | OneFootball

The Sporting B team won against Paços de Ferreira, 3-0, this Sunday, August 31, in a match for the fourth round of the Second League. After the first defeat of the year in the last game, the lions returned to winning with a rout over a historic Portuguese football team.

In a match played at Aurélio Pereira Stadium, in the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy, the lions started better and imposed their dominance from the beginning of the match. However, they had to wait almost until halftime to see Flávio Gonçalves (45') break the deadlock on the scoreboard. With little more to play in the first half, the break came with a minimal advantage for Sporting.

In the second half, the green and white offensive ascendancy continued, and the lions managed to extend the lead, giving more justice to the final result. Right at 55 minutes, it was Mauro Couto who made it 2-0 for Sporting before Rodrigo Ribeiro scored the third of the match, close to the last quarter of an hour of the meeting, at 74'. 3-0 was the score on the board when the referee blew for the end of the game.

With this victory - the third in four games this season - the team led by João Gião - are, provisionally, in the first place in the standings, with nine points earned, and can only be overtaken by Vizela in this round.

The starting eleven presented by the green and white emblem in the match consisted of: Diego Calai, José Silva, Bruno Ramos, João Muniz, David Moreira, Mauro Couto, Samuel Justo, Rayan Lucas, Flávio Gonçalves, Lucas Anjos and Rodrigo Ribeiro. On the substitutes bench, Guilherme Pires, Rafael Pontelo, Rodrigo Dias, Salvador Blopa, Eduardo Felicíssimo, Rafael Besugo, Gabriel Silva, Manuel Mendonça and Rafael Nel started.
