The Sporting junior team beat Gil Vicente (4-1) this Saturday, April 25. In the 11th round of the Championship Qualification Stage of the National Under-19 Championship, the young Lions claimed their second consecutive win, but they are still having an up-and-down season.

In a match played in Barcelos, the scoring was opened as early as the 7th minute by Sandro Ferreira, and it remained 1-0 at halftime, despite good chances for the Alvalade club to extend their lead.

In the second half, Sandro Ferreira (53') grabbed his brace and doubled Sporting’s advantage, but Gil Vicente pulled one back shortly after. However, the response was very strong, and Sandro Gambôa made it 3-1 in the 62nd minute. In the 70th minute, André Machado wrapped things up at 4-1.

With this win — their 18th in 38 matches this season — José João Gomes’ side are provisionally in second place with 18 points. Porto are first with 26 (with one game in hand). Sporting return to action on Saturday, May 2, against Santa Clara at 11:00 a.m. in Alcochete.

The starting eleven fielded by the green-and-white club was made up of the following players: Luka Petric (Goalkeeper), André Machado, Jakub Stasiak, Diego Coxi, Duarte Rosa, Leonardo Tavares, Brandão Baptista, Sandro Gamboa, Miguel Almeida (C), Sandro Ferreira and Sérgio Siza.
