Sporting snatch a last-minute draw, but remain bottom of the league | OneFootball

The Sporting under-23 team drew against Leixões 2-2, this Tuesday, February 10th, in a postponed match from the first round of the second phase of the Liga Revelação Champion Qualification. The lions recorded their fifth consecutive match without a win, after the defeat against Torreense in the previous game.

At Estádio do Mar, in Matosinhos, the green and whites started the match poorly and saw Arthur Baggio open the scoring as early as the 13th minute. Despite attempts to equalize in the first half, the score remained unchanged until the halftime whistle.

Returning from the locker rooms, Sporting scored through Kauã Oliveira (49') with a real stunner. The lions had the chance to take the lead with a penalty, but Miguel Alves missed the spot-kick (58'). Leixões ended up scoring the winning goal in the 86th minute, by Miguel Rajani, but Rayhan Momade secured the draw in the 90'+6 with a direct free kick.

With this draw - the fifth in 24 games this season - Filipe Neto's team has two points and remains in last place. Sporting's under-23s will return to the field on Saturday, February 20th, against Benfica, at 6:00 PM, in Seixal.

The starting lineup presented by the green and white team was composed of: Tiago Leitão, Konstantin Nikitenko, Atanásio Cunha, Miguel Alves (C), Afonso Lee, Kauã Oliveira, Manuel Kissanga, Zaid Bafdili, Diogo Martins, Ivanildo Mendes, and Rayhan Momade.
