Sporting thrash Estoril and go top of the league for now | OneFootball

The Sporting under-23 team thrashed Estoril 5-0 at the Jamor Stadium, in Oeiras, in a match valid for the fifth round of the Liga Revelação. After a home slip against Santa Clara, the lions returned to winning ways in the championship.

The young green and white players started strong and attacked the opponent's goal from early on. In the first minute, the referee awarded a penalty to the Alvalade Club, but Guilherme Santos failed to score. The opening goal came shortly after, by Diogo Martins (2'). At 10', Estoril was reduced to 10 men and Lucas Taibo doubled the lead (2-0). Before the break, Diogo Martins scored again for 3-0 (45+2').

In the second half, Sporting controlled the pace of the match due to the score difference and the fact they were playing with an extra player. Coming off the bench, Chris Grombahi also got on the scoresheet twice - 48' and 89' - and sealed the match.

With this victory - the third in five games this season - Sporting's under-23s have nine points and are provisional leaders. Santa Clara (nine points and two fewer games) and Benfica (nine points and one fewer game) complete the podium of the Liga Revelação. The next match will be against Farense and is scheduled for Tuesday, September 23, at 11:00 AM, in Alcochete.

Starting lineup presented by the green and white emblem: Miguel Gouveia (goalkeeper), Daniel Costa, Daniel Ciesielski, Lucas Taibo, Denilson Santos, Guilherme Santos, Micael Sanhá, Rafael Camacho, Diogo Martins, Sandro Nascimento, and Paulo Cardoso.
