Lions with big AFS updates - Sporting | OneFootball

Sporting announced this Tuesday that it sold out in just a few minutes the roughly 500 tickets available for the away section at Estádio da Vila das Aves. The Lions will face the Aves side in the 31st round of the league, next Sunday, April 26, at 8:30 pm.

"Sporting fans sold out the tickets that had gone on sale from 4:00 pm this Tuesday and once again promise great support," reads the statement released through the channels of the Alvalade club itself.

However, before the trip to the home ground of AVS SAD, the green and whites will face Porto at the Estádio do Dragão this Wednesday, in the second leg of the Portuguese Cup semi-finals, with kick-off scheduled for 8:45 pm. It is worth noting that, just as happened for the trip in the 31st round, Sporting fans also sold out the tickets available for the away section of the "Clássico".

Rui Borges's men hold the advantage in the tie after Luis Suárez opened the scoring from the penalty spot in the 62nd minute and secured a narrow 1-0 win in the first leg, played at the Estádio José de Alvalade.

As for the league standings, it is worth recalling that, at the moment, Porto are alone at the top of the table with 79 points, followed by Benfica with 72 points and Sporting in third place, with one game in hand, on 71 points.
