Last-minute goal gives Sporting a nine-point lead in the league | OneFootball

The Sporting youth team defeated Farense (1-0) this Saturday, December 13th, in a match for the 15th round of the Under-15 First Division - South Series Phase 2025/26. The lions return to victories, after the thrashing in the last round.

Playing on the Algarve team's ground, the lions started the match well, but the goals were stubbornly elusive. Despite some chances created in the first 40 minutes, Sporting couldn't find the back of the net, and the halftime arrived with the score at nil.

In the second half, the story seemed similar. Sporting enjoyed control of the game but couldn't find a way to beat the opposing goalkeeper. In injury time, at 80+1', the lions finally scored the much-desired goal, by João Rodrigues, securing the green and white victory.

With this victory - the 13th in 15 games this season - António Cruz's team now has 41 points and occupies the top of the table, with nine more points than Benfica (32, but one game less). In the next round, Sporting will host Barreirense. The match is scheduled for Wednesday, December 17th, at 6:30 PM, at the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy.

The team presented by the Alvalade Club was composed of: Gustavo Teixeira, Dinis Oliveira, Bernardo Lavos, Nicolas Aparício, Simão Margato, Luís Gonçalves (C), Igor Ribeiro, Bernardo Busatori, Laurindo Mendonça, Jacobo Aparício, and Aladje Conté.
