Jaime Marta Soares emotional after Sporting v Tondela: this was a scandal | OneFootball

Sporting’s 2-2 draw against Tondela, in a match played at the José Alvalade Stadium last Wednesday, April 29, sparked strong reactions among figures linked to the Sporting world, mainly because of its direct impact on the fight for second place.

Miguel Garcia felt the result ended up punishing the team despite the superiority they showed: “Tondela believed and had the luck of the game. Sporting were the team that played the better football, but that doesn’t win titles. As for Rui Borges, you have to look at the titles he has already won. You can’t reduce the season to two matches.”

Jaime Marta Soares, meanwhile, was again critical, pointing to two very different sides of the team during the match: “We saw a lost Sporting in the first half, when they were a shadow of themselves. In the second, victory would have been fair, but Tondela equalised and this was a scandal! It’s unbelievable, but Rui Borges is not the only one to blame.”

For his part, Carlos Severino was harsher in his analysis, even calling the coach’s future into question: “How can Sporting put in a performance like this? It’s outrageous not to beat the bottom two teams, and the season will not be saved with the Cup. I don’t know if there are conditions for Rui Borges to continue...”

With this draw – the tenth in 52 matches this season – the players managed by have 73 points and remain in third place in the Liga Portugal Betclic table. Porto (82) are in first place. Benfica are second with 75.
