Sporting held after Gonçalo Inácio own goal at Famalicão (videos) | OneFootball

Sporting drew 1-1 with Famalicão this Sunday, with the home side scoring in stoppage time. In a match valid for the 6th round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, the Lions leave Minho with just one point and several 'issues' with the refereeing, in the aftermath of the European win over Galatasaray.

In a match played in Vila Nova de Famalicão, the green-and-whites started on top in a very heated first 45 minutes, with few chances for either side. Luís Godinho drew complaints from the Lions right from the start, with a penalty on Maxi Araújo not given in the 7th minute. Aside from that, the Leonine side also scored through Flávio Gonçalves, in a move that was ruled out by VAR for handball by the forward (25').

After coming back from the dressing room with the score still goalless, Sporting again tried to go in search of a goal. Without success, Rui Borges chose to throw on two attacking options in the 65th minute: Rodrigo Zalazar and Fotis Ioannidis. The only direction of the match was the Minho side's goal, but the Lions were taking too long to find a finish. The 1-0 only came in the 81st minute, with a penalty converted by Luis Suárez, after Pedro Bondo fouled the Greek forward. However, Famalicão would eventually find the equaliser, thanks to an own goal by Gonçalo Inácio as he tried to cut out Aubakar's move (90'+1), when the home side were already down to ten men.

With this draw - the second in seven matches this season - the green-and-whites now have 14 points in the National Championship and fall even further behind Porto, who lead with 18, while also seeing Benfica pull clear in 2nd place (16).

The Leonine club return to action next Saturday, September 19, against Arouca. The match, counting for the seventh round of the Liga Portugal Betclic against Vasco Seabra's side, will be played at 8:30 pm at the José Alvalade Stadium.
