Two sent off as Sporting lose 2-1, bottom of league with one point | OneFootball

The Sporting under-23 team lost to Torreense 2-1, this Saturday, January 31, in a match for the fifth round of the Champion Phase of the Liga Revelação. The lions recorded their fourth match without a win, after the draw with Braga in the previous round.

At the Aurélio Pereira Stadium in Alcochete, the green and whites started the match poorly and saw Ricardo Rei open the scoring just 2 minutes in. Despite attempts to equalize in the first half, the score remained unchanged until the halftime whistle.

Returning from the locker rooms, Sporting scored through Diogo Martins (50') on the rebound from a shot by Micael Sanhá. However, in the 66th minute, Rafael Camacho received a second yellow card and was sent off. Torreense, with a numerical advantage, took advantage and made it 2-1 through Mateusz Kowalski (71'). In stoppage time, Rodrigo Marquês, a former player of the Alvalade Club, received a direct red card for aggression.

With this defeat - the 10th in 23 games this season - Filipe Neto's team is in eighth and last place in this phase with only one point. The Sporting under-23s will return to the field on Tuesday, February 10, against Leixões, at 3:00 PM, in Matosinhos.

The starting lineup presented by the green and white emblem consisted of: Miguel Gouveia (Goalkeeper), Daniel Costa, Miguel Alves, Guilherme Silva (C), Rafael Mota, Bento Estrela, Micael Sanhá, Rafael Camacho, Sandro Ferreira, Duarte Tomás, and Rayhan Momade.
