In free fall! Sporting lose to Famalicão again, 11 without a win | OneFootball

The Sporting under-23 team lost to Famalicão, 2-1, this Thursday, March 26, in a match from the 10th round of the Liga Revelação Championship phase. The Lions made it 11 consecutive matches without a win, after losing to this same side in the previous game.

In a match played at the Estádio Municipal de Famalicão, the green-and-white side once again produced a very uninspired display and found themselves 'suffocated' by the Minho team. However, it was the Lions who took the lead, through Diogo Martins, in the 30th minute. Their time in front was short-lived, as the side coached by Nikola Popovic struck back soon after, in the 36th minute, through Rodrigo Ribeiro.

After the break, the match continued at a good pace, but the Alvalade club's team once again struggled, with Famalicão threatening Miguel Gouveia's goal several times, even hitting the woodwork. The game became more open in the closing stages and Umar Abubakar took advantage to complete the comeback for the home side in the 83rd minute.

With this defeat - their 16th in 30 matches this season - João Santos Cardoso's side have two points and remain in eighth and last place. Sporting's under-23s return to action on Monday, April 6, against Braga at 6:00 pm in Alcochete.

The starting lineup fielded by the green-and-white club was made up of: Miguel Gouveia, Konstantin Nikitenko, Atanásio Cunha, Guilherme Silva, Afonso Lee, Rafael Camacho, Manuel Kissanga, Guilherme Santos, Délcio Aurélio, Rayhan Momade and Diogo Martins.
