Sporting slip up at home, Benfica could pull away at the top of the league | OneFootball

The Sporting women's football team lost to Torreense (3-2) this Saturday, November 1st. In a match for the fifth round of the Liga BPI 2025/26, the green and white team faced a tough opponent, after having drawn in a League Cup match.

In Alcochete, at the Aurélio Pereira Stadium, the match started better for the green and white emblem. Brittany Raphino opened the scoring for the lionesses in the 18th minute. However, Torreense equalized through a penalty kick just before halftime, which ended with a one-all draw.

In the second half, Torreense came out strong and confirmed the comeback. The team from Torres Vedras made it 2-1 in the 53rd minute, taking the lead. Sporting responded and sought the equalizer, which came in the 81st minute through Eaton-Collins. However, the worst was yet to come - with the team searching for the winning goal, the Alvalade Club ended up conceding in the 90+1 minute, a moment that sealed the defeat for the green and white.

With this defeat - the second in 10 games this season - Micael Sequeira's team temporarily holds the first place in the national championship, with 10 points, the same as Benfica, who have played one less game.

The green and white emblem remains focused on the national championship. The next match for Sporting is scheduled for Saturday, November 8th, against Braga, at 3:00 PM. The duel against the team led by Marwin Bolz will be played at the Amélia Morais Stadium, in the Minho city.
