Sporting were 1-0 down, but a half-time secret weapon won it 3-1 | OneFootball

TheSporting U15 team beat Ançã 3-1 in a match from the fifth round of the Southern series of the National Championship at this level. The young Lions had to come from behind after a first half in which, despite their territorial dominance, they were unable to turn their chances into goals.

The Leonine side had a great chance to level the score even before half-time, through a penalty. However, Ricardo Quaresma was unable to beat the opposing goalkeeper, who saved the shot, leaving Sporting behind as they headed to the dressing room.

The response came after the break. Malam Dafé came off the bench to be decisive, equalising the match with a shot from inside the area and then providing the assists for the next two goals. Martim Vaz made it 2-1 in the 71st minute, before Francisco Silva sealed the result in the 76th minute. Sporting now have 10 points and remain in pursuit of Benfica (12 with a game in hand). In the next round, Filipe Santos’ side host Portimonense.
