The Sporting junior team drew against Torreense (1-1) this Saturday, December 6th. In a match for the 14th round of the Under-19 National Championship, the young green and whites dropped points again, after their defeat in the previous round.

In a match held at Estádio Aurélio Pereira, in Alcochete, the first half was very entertaining. Sporting started well and even scored early, in the 15th minute, through Miguel Almeida, but Torreense equalized, and the match reached halftime with the score at 1-1.

In the second half, Sporting did not give up, despite not being ahead on the scoreboard. The lions tried and created several scoring chances in the second half, but the green and whites lacked effectiveness, letting another two points slip away.
