Pote sparks debate among Sporting fans after win at Estoril | OneFootball

Tomás da Cunha analyzed the match between Sporting and Estoril, which the Lions ended up winning 1-0. Aside from the expert’s commentary on the seventh round of the National Championship, the Alvalade Club fans showed their frustration with Pote’s performance against the Canaries.

"Without putting on a fantastic display, the behavioral difference between Sporting 25/26 and 24/25 is clear when it comes to managing the second halves. Suárez (today, above), Trincão, and Pote continue to share the spotlight. Full match for Maxi Araújo and Vagiannidis adding up," he wrote.

Furthermore, Tomás da Cunha’s opinion about Pedro Gonçalves ended up creating some controversy among Sporting fans, who were not satisfied with the performance of the ‘number 8’ in the match – "I only disagree regarding Pote"; "Pote didn’t show up for the game"; "Pote was horrible, just like in the match against Famalicão." The comments ‘forced’ the sports commentator to explain that what he wrote about the Portuguese international extended to the entire start of the season.

With the victory at Amoreira – their seventh in nine matches this season – Rui Borges’ men have 18 points and are tied with Porto at the top of the Liga Portugal Betclic, but the Dragons have one game less. Benfica is in third place with 17.

The green and white team will only take the field again next Wednesday, October 1st, against Napoli. The match, counting for the second round of the Champions League, against the team led by Antonio Conte, will be played at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium at 8:00 pm.
