Vitória SC v Sporting under scrutiny, some say it could've got tricky | OneFootball

Last Tuesday, December 23rd, Sporting thrashed Vitória de Guimarães, 4-1, maintaining second place in the Liga Portugal Betclic. At the end of the match, several personalities related to the green and whites analyzed the performance of Rui Borges' team.

“Sporting started strong and dominated the 1st half. Vitória came back better and Rui Silva gave a 'Christmas turkey', but the other goalkeeper reciprocated and Sporting regained control. Merry Christmas to everyone, especially to Sporting fans,” said Aldo Lima, comedian, in statements to the newspaper Record.

Meanwhile, Luís Martins, former coach of the lions, addressed who, in his opinion, really made a difference in the match: “Sporting was superior throughout the 1st half. The dynamics that Rui Borges presented, some of them are not new, as Maxi Araújo has played inside a few times. Trincão was the man of the match and the great game-changer.”

Finally, Marco Chagas, former cyclist, also did not forget Rui Silva's mistake in the match: “A beautiful game, which could have been complicated with that blunder, which happens to good goalkeepers. In Guimarães, it is always very difficult. An important and well-achieved victory.”

The green and white emblem will return to the field next Sunday, December 28th, against Rio Ave. The match, part of the 16th round of the National Championship, against the team led by Sotiris Sylaidopoulos, will be played at 8:30 PM, in Alvalade.
