Torreense’s victory in the Portuguese Cup final, against Sporting by 2-1 at the National Stadium, continues to have a strong impact and generate many reactions in the Sporting world. The surprising outcome of the match led several public figures who support the Club to comment on Rui Borges’ team’s performance.
Júlio Isidro mainly highlighted the way Torreense approached the game and the symbolism of the result achieved: “The victory was fair and the mythology was fulfilled: David beat Goliath. The 2nd League team took to the field without any inferiority complex, it was surprising and Sporting were a disappointment,” he told the newspaper 'Record'.
Sousa Cintra, meanwhile, was quite critical of the Lions’ performance: “Sporting did nothing to deserve to win the match. They were obliged to do more against a club that is still in the 2nd League. Playing in Lisbon and having won nothing this year, I expected different energy and determination. Let this be a lesson to us.”
Vanessa Oliveira also commented on the match, praising Torreense’s attitude and pointing out inconsistencies in Sporting’s team: “Torreense were deserved winners and gave it everything, as the saying goes. Disappointed with Sporting’s performance, because they are capable of the best and the worst almost from one day to the next,” she said.
