Sporting win away and climb to the top of the league | OneFootball

The Sporting junior team won against Torreense 2-0 this Saturday, August 30th, in a match for the fifth round of the National Under-19 Championship. Playing at the Manuel Marques Municipal Sports Complex in Torres Vedras, the lions returned to winning ways, after the painful defeat in the last match.

The Alvalade Club started more dominantly and took control of ball possession, frequently approaching the opponent's goal. The good start by Sporting paid off, and it was the lions who took the lead during the first half, thanks to Miguel Almeida (23').

In the second half, the lions continued to press the game, looking for another goal to give the team more security. Again, the greater offensive presence of the green and white proved decisive, when, at 72 minutes, Paulo Simão scored and doubled Sporting's lead. Torreense tried to respond, but despite the threats, they couldn't reduce the deficit, and the match ended 2-0 for Mauro Miguel's team.

With this victory - the third in five games this season - Mauro Miguel's team rises to the top of the table with nine points, two more than Torreense, who are in second place (with one less game). The under-19 lions will play again next Sunday, September 14th, against Tondela, at the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy.

Team presented in the match by the green and white emblem: Alexandre Tverdohlebov, André Machado, Cristiano Palamarchuck, Diego Coxi, João Rijo, Paulo Simão, Sérgio Siza, Argyris Christodoulou, Miguel Almeida, Frederico Gomes, and Estefânio Domingos. On the substitutes' bench were Luka Petric, Santiago Fernandes, Daniel Lopes, Leonardo Tavares, Simão Soares, Sandro Gamboa, José Mendes, and Rodrigo Quintiães.
