Sporting come from behind to beat Porto 2-1, through to the national final | OneFootball

The Sporting roller hockey team defeated Porto, 2-1, this Saturday, September 27, in a match for the semi-finals of the Elite Cup. After the victory against Sanjoanense (4-2), the lions now move on to the competition's final and await their opponent.

At the Odivelas Multi-purpose Pavilion, the first half was quite contested, but the team now led by Paulo Freitas, former coach of the Alvalade Club, managed to take the lead. Ezequiel Mena scored the only goal of the first half, at 25 minutes, complicating Sporting's mission.

In the second half, the green and white team managed to turn the score around. At 34 minutes, Alessandro Verona tied the Classic's score. Five minutes later, the new signing Danilo Rampulla, at 39', added his name to the scorers list and put the lions in the final.

With this victory - the second in two matches this season - Edo Bosch's team will face the winner of the duel between Oliveirense and Benfica, which only starts at 9:00 pm. The red emblem team won the last two editions of this competition.

The Alvalade Club - which lost the Stromp trophy - thus focuses on the final match. The game is scheduled for next Sunday, September 28, and will start at 7:00 pm. The match will be held again at the Odivelas Multi-purpose Pavilion and is expected to be a full house.
