Roller hockey: beaten in extra time at Odivelas | OneFootball

FC Porto was unable to win the 24th António Livramento Super Cup, falling to Sporting 3-4 after extra time, in the match held this Saturday at the Odivelas Multiusos Pavilion. Despite the defeat, the national champions maintain a clear dominance in this competition, with 23 trophies, well above their rivals: Benfica (9), OC Barcelos (5), Sporting (3), and AD Valongo (1).

The first half was the most intense of the match, with five goals and several dangerous situations at both goals. Ezequiel Mena opened the scoring and shortly after assisted Hélder Nunes for the 2-0. Alessandro Verona reduced for Sporting and, seconds later, Hélder Nunes scored again for a 3-1 lead for the dragons.

Facundo Navarro reduced the gap again for the Lisbon team and the break arrived with the score at 3-2, a result that reflected FC Porto's superiority in the first 25 minutes. In the second half, the game became more tactical and, as time was running out, Facundo Navarro equalized in the 47th minute, setting the score at 3-3.

At the start of extra time, Facundo Navarro completed the hat-trick and gave Sporting the first lead of the game, forcing FC Porto to fight for the draw. In the final phase of extra time, the team led by Paulo Freitas pressed intensely and had several chances to score, but Xano Edo's inspiration ultimately secured the victory for Sporting.

FC Porto returns to competition on Wednesday at 8:00 PM (Porto Canal), at Dragão Arena, against OC Barcelos, in the 1st round of the National Championship.
