Sporting end four-game slump, Rui Borges smiling again | OneFootball

Sporting has once again locked its goal with seven keys. Rui Borges' pupils hosted and defeated Moreirense 3-0, and the lions managed to keep a clean sheet, something that hadn't happened in four games.

The Alvalade Club put an end to a series of games conceding goals, which had started on August 23, in the victory over Nacional, where the green and whites won 4-1. After the island victory, goals were conceded in the defeat against Porto (2-1) and victories over Famalicão (2-1) and Kairat Almaty (4-1).

Before the victory against Moreirense, the last triumph where Sporting kept a clean sheet was in the second round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, against Arouca, where Rui Silva managed to nullify any opposing threats. The lions won the match 6-0.

Last Monday, September 22, it was João Virgínia's turn to guard the lion's net. The 'number 12' of the Alvalade Club demonstrated a high level of defensive security. Proof of this was the fact that the Moreira de Cónegos team managed only one shot on target in 90 minutes.

Thus, Sporting is the fifth-best defense in the championship, allowing a total of four goals. Above Rui Borges' pupils are only Famalicão with three, Gil Vicente with two, and Porto with one, conceded during their visit to the Estádio de Alvalade.
