Sporting win in Madeira with controversial goal, once again against 10 men | OneFootball

The outcome did not reflect what happened in Madeira. Sporting went through some tough moments this Saturday during their visit to Nacional’s ground, in the third round of the Primeira Liga. The Lions comfortably imposed themselves with a 4-1 victory and, for now, maintain their lead in the competition, on the eve of hosting FC Porto in the season’s first Clássico.

At Estádio da Madeira, the home side surprised in the 3rd minute, with a goal from Léo Santos following a corner kick. Tiago Margarido’s strategy suffered a setback with the sending off of Pablo Ruan in the 37th minute, after he received a second yellow card.

In the second half, Pedro Gonçalves found his aim and became the protagonist of Sporting’s comeback, scoring three goals and providing the assist for Conrad Harder’s precise strike.
