The Sporting women's football team claimed victory against Damaiense this Friday, January 16, at Estádio Algarve. In a match corresponding to the third round of the first phase of the League Cup, the lionesses comfortably achieved their goal, winning 6-1, following their triumph in the previous game.

In Loulé, the first half was dominated by the green and whites. Brittany Raphino opened the scoring in the 20th minute with a penalty. In the 32nd minute, Damaiense, already trailing, saw their misfortune continue – Doly Wabeua, number 9 for the Damaia team, scored an own goal. To close out the first 45 minutes, Andreia Bravo (44’) found the back of the net.

In the second half, both teams came out strong. Sporting maintained control of the match, but still ended up conceding a goal. In the 62nd minute, Lícia Cruz pulled one back. In response, the lionesses were ruthless, and in the 82nd minute, Ana Capeta made her mark on the match with a great goal. Flor Bonsegundo (90’) scored the fifth, and former Barcelona player Carla Armengol (90+1’) netted the sixth.

With this victory – their 10th in 20 games this season – Micael Sequeira’s side are now in second place in Group B of the Women’s League Cup, where five teams are battling for two spots that grant access to the national competition play-offs.

The green and white emblem now turns its attention to the BPI League. Sporting’s next match is scheduled for January 24, against Vitória de Guimarães, at 3:00 p.m., at the Vitória Sport Clube Academy, in a clash for the 10th round of the National Championship.
