Sporting win on muddy pitch despite three disallowed goals, go top | OneFootball

The Sporting B team defeated Felgueiras (2-0) this Saturday, December 6th, in a match for the 13th round of Liga 2. The green and whites achieved their seventh consecutive game without losing, after securing a victory in the previous round.

In a match played at Estádio Dr. Machado de Matos in Felgueiras, Sporting had to face a real 'muddy field', as the pitch was in very poor condition, also due to the recent rain. The first half went by without any goals, ending with a scoreless draw.

In the second half, Sporting B came out strong. The lions opened the scoring in the first minute of the second half, with Rodrigo Ribeiro. The team grew, and three more goals by the lions followed but were disallowed for offside. However, in the final moments, the lions managed to score the second goal, by Lucas Anjos.

With this victory – the ninth in 13 games this season – João Gião's team is in first place in the standings, with 29 points accumulated. In second place is Marítimo, with 26 points - the team from Madeira has the same number of games as the lions but still has a match to play this round.

The starting eleven presented by the green and white team in the match was composed of: Francisco Silva, Salvador Blopa, David Moreira, Rômulo Jr., Rodrigo Dias, Paulo Cardoso, Kauã Oliveira, Samuel Justo, Mauro Couto, Rodrigo Ribeiro, and Rafael Nel.
