Below-par Sporting let Tondela snatch a stoppage-time draw | OneFootball

Sporting drew with Tondela, 2-2, this Wednesday, April 29, in a match from the postponed 26th round of the Liga Portugal Betclic. After the draw with AVS SAD in the previous round, the Lions had an unfortunate night.

Playing at the José Alvalade Stadium, the Lions came closer to scoring on several occasions, especially through two chances from Luís Suárez. However, Sporting were unable to break the deadlock in the first 45 minutes.

In the second half, the green and whites kept pushing until they found the goal, which finally came in the 62nd minute, when Luis Suárez got ahead of the defender and opened the scoring following a cross from Salvador Blopa. The 2-0 came in the 78th minute, with Geny Catamo shooting wide, but João Silva tried to clear it and ended up turning the ball into his own net.

The worst came at the end of the match. Another penalty conceded by Hidemasa Morita. Rui Silva saved it, but Sporting still ended up conceding two goals from corners in the final minutes, allowing the points to be shared (90+2 and 90+5).

With this draw — the tenth in 52 matches this season — the team coached by O Porto (82) is in first place. Benfica are second with 75.
