Sporting win 2-1 away, J. Mendes stars | OneFootball

Sporting beat Torreense 2-1 this Saturday in Torres Vedras, in a match from the fourth round of the first phase of the National Under-19 Championship. The young Lions were superior for most of the game and fully deserved all three points.

After their derby win in the previous round, the Sporting side came out determined and scored the opener in the 10th minute. José Mendes took advantage of an assist from Duarte Rosa to put Sporting ahead, but Torreense responded immediately, with the home side equalising from the penalty spot.

The score remained level until half-time, but Sporting came back out for the second half with the same intention of taking control of the match. In the opening minutes after the break, Sandro Gamboa stepped up to restore the Lions’ lead (2-1).

With this win, Pedro Guerreiro’s side picked up three more points in a match in which they controlled the key moments. Their next fixture is only scheduled for 13 September at 11:00, against Alverca, at the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy.
