Tomás da Cunha says Sporting duo made life difficult against Moreirense | OneFootball

Tomás da Cunha praised Sporting’s team build-up against Moreirense, but lamented the performances of Mangas and Suárez.

Tomás da Cunha did not let Sporting - Moreirense go unnoticed, which ended in a big 3-0 win for the Lions. The sports commentator praised the construction of Rui Borges’ side, but pointed out that Ricardo Mangas and Luis Suárez were ‘complicating’ the task.

“With Inácio, Debast, Hjulmand, and Kochorashvili in the first passes, Sporting has an easier time finding Pedro Gonçalves and Trincão. Quenda came in to improve the connection from the right to the inside. Suárez (in finishing) and Mangas (in crossing) held back the difference in the score,” he noted, still during the match.

At the end of the match, Tomás da Cunha once again used his account on the ‘X’ platform to highlight the importance of Francisco Trincão: “Whether playing well or not so well, Trincão’s evolution in personality over the last two seasons has put his career on the right track. He continues to solve problems individually (carrying/dribbling/shooting), understanding Sporting’s moments of difficulty. He handles the pressure.”

With this victory – their sixth in eight matches this season – Rui Borges’ men reach 15 points in Liga Portugal Betclic. The Lions thus climb to second place in the competition, behind Porto, who have 18 points, and ahead of Benfica, with 13.

Sporting will be back on the pitch next Saturday, September 27, against Estoril, in a match for the seventh round of the Liga Portugal Betclic. The match against the side led by Ian Cathro will be played at 8:30 pm at Estádio António Coimbra da Mota, the opponent’s ground.
