Tomás da Cunha questions Sporting starter: too many mistakes | OneFootball

Tomás da Cunha shared his analysis of the Sporting - Vitória SC match from last Tuesday, January 6th, which the Lions lost 2-1. Through his account on the platform 'X', the sports commentator addressed the negative aspects of Rui Borges' team, as well as the lack of performance from Morten Hjulmand, but not only that.

"The issue of injuries will not only limit Rui Borges' options (he brought on a sixth center-back, used two wingers who could be playing for the B team). Maintaining the availability/performance of those who remain (Hjulmand racked up losses) is the challenge. Fresneda and Rômulo had problems defending crosses," he began by writing.

Next, Tomás da Cunha left a final comment, this one more focused on the game played by the team from Guimarães: "Off the top of my head, I can't recall the last time a Vitória striker scored twice to change the outcome of an important match. They had Charles' saves to hold on and were more effective than Sporting. Saviolo, on the left and with space to run, causes problems."

With this defeat – the fifth in 29 matches this season – Rui Borges's men miss out on a place in the Allianz Cup final. The Minho side will now face the winner of the duel between Benfica and Braga, scheduled for next Wednesday, January 7th.

The green and white team will return to the pitch on Friday, January 16th, against Casa Pia. The match, part of the 18th round of Liga Portugal Betclic, against the team managed by Gonçalo Brandão, will be played at 8:15 pm at Alvalade.
