Sporting lose 1-0 to Porto, trail the Dragons by 14 points | OneFootball

Sporting’s U17 team lost 1-0 to Porto this Sunday, May 10, in a match counting for the 13th round of the Championship Qualification Stage of the U17 level. The Lions thus saw a run of two consecutive wins come to an end, one of them against Real.

In a match played at the Dr. Jorge Sampaio Municipal Stadium, the game began somewhat cautiously, but it was the home side that quickly took control. As early as the 10th minute, Tcherno Jamanca gave the first warning with a shot that struck the side netting, before, in the 19th minute, Gustavo Guerra took advantage of a recovery in midfield to score.

In the second half, the Dragons controlled the contest, although without creating many truly dangerous chances. Near the end, in the 82nd minute, the Lions’ best opportunity arrived, with José Garrafa missing a finish at the far post that could have leveled the score.

With this defeat — their fifth in 31 matches this season — Pedro Pontes’ side have 23 points and are in third place. Porto are first with 37 (with one game in hand). The next match is scheduled for Sunday, May 17, against Benfica, at 11:00 am, in Alcochete.

The team fielded by the Alvalade club was made up of: Afonso Redondo (Goalkeeper), Salvador Fortuna, Mário Almeida, Alexandre Rosado, Francisco Cabeçana, Rodrigo Nogueira, Diego Farinha, Francisco Simões, Martim Ribeiro, Afonso Marques and José Garrafa.
