Lucas Lima rues Sport defeat, speaks on relegation to Série B | OneFootball

This Tuesday, Sport took a two-goal lead but ended up conceding a comeback to Botafogo, who won 3-2 at Estádio Nilton Santos, in the 34th round of the Brazilian Championship. Lucas Lima lamented yet another defeat in the competition and commented on the club’s relegation to Série B.

“There’s not much to say, we made a lot of mistakes. What happened here today happened throughout the whole championship. We knew our responsibility, but now we have to finish with honor and in the best way possible. It’s sad, but we need to keep our heads up and end the year well,” he said.

The midfielder also praised the squad’s performance in the match, but stated that, just like in the rest of the national competition, something was missing for Leão to secure a good result.

“The sadness hits harder because the team played well, but sometimes something is missing for us to control the result and not suffer so much. The game was practically over, I believe their team wasn’t posing any danger to us. But we need to find strength where there is none and finish the championship with honor,” concluded Lucas Lima.

In last place, with only 17 points, Sport returns to the field this Sunday, when they face Vitória. The match, valid for the 35th round of the Brazilian Championship, will be held at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at Ilha do Retiro, in Recife.
