Zeno Debast reacted on social media to the own goal scored in Sporting’s 5-1 win over Vitória de Guimarães last Monday, playing down the incident in light of the final result: “I’m not happy with the own goal, but I am with the result”.
The Instagram post sparked several light-hearted reactions inside the Sporting dressing room. Ousmane Diomande joked: “How can anyone be annoyed about having scored a goal?”, while Iván Fresneda praised him: “What a player!”.
However, these were not the only comments that stood out on Debast’s post. Geovany Quenda also joined in the fun: “Did you sign the ball?”; while Souleymane Faye left a short but expressive comment: “The Best”.
With this win – their 35th in 53 matches this season – Rui Borges’ side have 76 points and remain third in the Liga Portugal Betclic table. Porto (85) are in first place. Benfica are second, also with 76, as they hold the head-to-head advantage.
The green-and-white side return to action next weekend, on May 9/10, against Rio Ave. The match, valid for round 33 of the Portuguese League, against the team coached by Sotiris Sylaidopoulos, will be played in Vila do Conde, with the date and kick-off time still to be confirmed.
