Sporting legend on 7-1 over Benfica: We celebrated at the Bingo | OneFootball

The current under-20 coach of Portugal, Oceano Cruz, revealed that after the historic victory against Benfica, by 7-1, in the 1986/1987 sports season, the former midfielder and the rest of the Sporting team went to celebrate at the Bingo.

"After the 7-1 against Benfica, we went to celebrate at the Bingo", he said in an interview with the videocast 90+3, which belongs to the newspaper 'A Bola'. This legendary victory remains the biggest result ever between the two clubs from the Lisbon capital.

The match took place on December 14, 1986. At the old Estádio José Alvalade, Mário Jorge with a brace (15 and 68), Manuel Fernandes with a poker (50, 71, 82, 86), and Ralph Meade (65), Sporting, coached by Manuel José, crushed the rival in red (something mentioned by Dias Ferreira).

Oceano was a player for Sporting on two occasions – between 1984 and 1991 and between 1994 and 1998. In total, the former Portuguese international played 401 times with the green and white stripes, scoring 48 goals and providing five assists wearing the Lion's jersey.

The former midfielder won two Super Cups (1987 and 1995) and one Portuguese Cup (1994/95) with the green and whites. He also managed the main team in four games during the 2012/13 season, failing to secure any victories during that period.
