Bare-minimum Sporting let Tondela snatch draw in stoppage time | OneFootball

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

Playing at the José Alvalade Stadium, the Lions actually came closer to scoring on several occasions, most notably through two chances for Luís Suárez. However, Sporting were unable to break the deadlock in the opening 45 minutes.

In the second half, the green-and-whites kept pressing until they found the goal, which finally came in the 62nd minute, with Luis Suárez getting in front of the defender and opening 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 and ended up deflecting the ball into his own net.

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

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

The match, counting for round 32 of Liga Portugal Betclic, against the team coached by Gil Lameiras, will be played at 8:15 pm at the José Alvalade Stadium.
