Sporting fight back from 2-0 down to win 4-2 at Vitória | OneFootball

Sporting’s Under-17 team claimed their third win this Sunday in the first phase of the National Championship, beating Vitória de Setúbal away from home 4-2. The Lions had to come from behind after a difficult start, but eventually completed a convincing turnaround.

The Setúbal side went ahead in the 9th minute and scored again less than five minutes later to make it 2-0. Sporting’s response came before half-time, with David Makinde converting a penalty in the 38th minute to cut the deficit to 2-1.

The equaliser came early in the second half, with Dinis Santos heading into the back of the net in the 48th minute following a cross from Nicolas Aparício. Sporting gained fresh momentum and kept pushing for the comeback, which finally came in the 70th minute when Yanick Filipe, set up by David Makinde, made it 3-2.

Near the end, Sérgio Saraiva’s side wrapped things up. In the 89th minute, Mélvin Rosário took advantage of a ball recovery by Yanick Filipe, broke through the middle and beat the opposing goalkeeper to make the final score 4-2. Sporting play again next Sunday against Casa Pia at the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy at 11:00 am.
