Sporting let lead slip and suffer second straight defeat | OneFootball

Sporting’s B team lost to Farense (2-1) this Saturday, April 11, in a match counting for the 29th round of Liga 2 Meu Super. After the setback in the previous round, the Lions slipped again and suffered their second consecutive defeat.

In a match played at the Estádio de São Luís in Faro, the home side started better and managed to open the scoring after just seven minutes through Leonardo Oliveira. Before half-time, the Algarve side were awarded a penalty after a foul by Rômulo in the box. Derick Poloni scored to make it 2-0 going into the break.

In the second half, Sporting tried to respond and looked increasingly closer to Farense’s goal, even finding the net with a goal later ruled out by André Narciso. In the 72nd minute, Eduardo Felicíssimo struck powerfully from the edge of the box and managed to pull one back for the Lions - with the goal being credited to Samuel Justo, who got a slight touch.

With this defeat – their 14th in 29 matches this season – João Gião’s men sit sixth in the standings with 41 points. Their next match is scheduled for Monday, April 20, against Felgueiras at 6:45 pm in Alcochete.

The starting eleven fielded by the green-and-white club was made up of: Diego Calai, David Moreira (C), João Muniz, Rômulo JR, Rodrigo Dias, Samuel Justo, Rayan Lucas, Paulo Cardoso, Zaïd Bafdili, Mauro Couto and Lucas Anjos.
