The Sporting women's football team defeated Racing Power (3-2) this Sunday, January 11. In a match for the ninth round of the Liga BPI, the green and white team put an end to a series of three games without a win, one of which was the derby against Benfica.

At the Setúbal Municipal Athletics Complex, it was the lionesses who opened the scoring. After a corner kick and some confusion in the box, Érica Cancelinha (29') managed to make it 1-0. In the 33rd minute, Ana Nogueira equalized with a header into Anna Wellmann's net. In the 36th minute, again following a corner kick, Beatriz Fonseca, in an attempt to clear the ball, headed it into her own net, before Brittany Raphino made it 2-2 in the 45+9th minute.

In the second half, Telma Encarnação put the Alvalade club ahead with a great goal in the 65th minute. First time and with her left foot, the Sporting player, who would later be sent off in the 80th minute, put the ball in the back of the net after a cross from the right by Beatriz Fonseca. Pamela González (Racing Power) was also sent off.

With this victory – their ninth in 19 games this season – Micael Sequeira’s side now occupy second place in the National Championship with 18 points. Benfica, on the other hand, remain in first place and have five more points than the Alvalade club (23).

The green and white team now turn their attention to the third round of Group B in the League Cup. Sporting’s next match is scheduled for Friday, January 16, at 3:00 pm, against Damaiense, at the Estádio do Algarve, in Loulé.
