Star who escaped Guardiola earns Bayern dramatic draw vs Sporting | OneFootball

Sporting’s junior team drew 3-3 with Bayern Munich this Tuesday, December 9. In a lively match for the sixth round of the UEFA Youth League, the young green and whites were always trailing but managed to equalize at the very end.

Sporting was almost immediately at a disadvantage. Yil Gashi converted a penalty for the Bavarians and opened the scoring (7'). Bayern increased their lead in the 16th minute when, after combining with Dalpiaz, Cardozo, already inside the box, dribbled past several Sporting players and, from a central position, fired the ball into the net. Before halftime, the green and whites pulled one back through Gabriel Silva (20').

In the second half, things started badly again. The German side extended their lead to 3-1 with a headed goal by Bohdan Olychenko (46'). About ten minutes from the end, Lucas Taibo reduced the deficit for the green and whites and, in stoppage time, scored the equalizer that earned Sporting a point (90'+6).

With this draw—the sixth in 17 games this season—João Gião’s side currently sit, provisionally, in eighth place in the standings with 12 points. Sporting will be back in action next Saturday, December 13, against Torreense at 4:00 PM at the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy.

The starting eleven fielded by the green and white club was: Miguel Gouveia, Daniel Costa, Lucas Taibo, Rafael Mota, Duarte Tomás, Atanásio Cunha, Rafael Camacho, Paulo Simão, Ivanildo Mendes, Manuel Kissanga, and Gabriel Silva.
