Sporting lose 3-0, former Lions winger on target | OneFootball

The Sporting under-23 team lost 3-0 to Torreense this Tuesday, April 14, in a match from the 12th round of the Liga Revelação Championship Qualification phase. After the win in the previous round against Braga (2-1), the Lions were unable to extend their winning run and returned to defeat.

In a game played at the opponent’s ground, the green-and-white side once again produced a very uninspired display and found themselves 'suffocated' by the opposing team. The opening goal came in the 14th minute through Nilton Cardoso, a former Lions player.

After the break, the match continued at a good pace, but the Alvalade club side again struggled, with Torreense threatening Tiago Leitão’s goal on several occasions. The 2-0 came in the 67th minute through Tiago Serrazina. The third was an own goal scored in the 81st minute.

With this defeat — their 17th in 32 games this season — João Santos Cardoso’s side have five points and remain in eighth and last place. Sporting’s under-23s return to action on Friday, April 24, against Benfica at 4:00 pm in Alcochete.

The starting lineup fielded by the green-and-white club was made up of: Tiago Leitão (Goalkeeper), Afonso Lee, Miguel Alves (C), Daniel Ciesielski, Konstantin Nikitenko, Rafael Camacho, Guilherme Santos, Délcio Aurélio, Rayhan Momade, Ivanildo Mendes and Diogo Martins.
