Watch the highlights of Sporting v Porto (Video) | OneFootball

On Saturday, August 30, Sporting lost 2-1 at home to Porto in the fourth round of the Liga Portugal Betclic. In the second half, the opposing team scored two goals out of nowhere and managed to take all three points from Alvalade.

The Classic started with an immediate goal opportunity from the dragons' kickoff with Borja Sainz hitting the post. The lions' response came at the 9' mark, when Luis Suárez received a throw-in from Ricardo Mangas and shot in an arc, with the ball passing very close to the visitor's goal.

Until the interval, the highlight was the moment when Geny Catamo, launched at speed by Iván Fresneda, advanced to the Porto area and was taken down by Francisco Moura, but referee João Gonçalves let the game continue. At the end of the first half, the score remained unchanged.

The second half opened with a dominant Sporting pushing the rival against the ropes. However, against the run of play, Porto managed to score a goal out of the blue, with Luuk de Jong (61') being the scorer. Francesco Farioli's team scored again immediately after, this time by William Gomes (64').

The green and white goal came at 74': Gonçalo Inácio released Ricardo Mangas and he tried to assist Conrad Harder, with Nehuén Pérez sending the ball into his own net. There was still time for a shot from Morten Hjulmand over the bar and for some attacks near Diogo Costa's area, but the score remained the same.
