The Sporting women's volleyball team lost to Benfica 3-0 this Saturday, October 4th, and was unable to win the Super Cup in the sport. The green and whites – who were last year's Cup winners – were defeated by the team led by Henrique Furtado.

In a match held at the Estremoz Municipal Pavilion, the lionesses were defeated with set scores of (25-21), (25-14), and (29-18). With this loss against their eternal rivals, Sporting still has not managed to win the trophy, which they have never lifted in their entire history.

With this defeat – the first at the start of the new sports season – the team led by Rui Pedro Silva sees Benfica claim their second Super Cup victory in the history of the club. Leixões remains the most decorated club in the competition with five trophies.

Sporting's next match is scheduled for next Sunday, October 12th, against Castêlo da Maia, in a game counting for the first round of the Championship. The match against the team led by João Pedro Vieira will be played at the João Rocha Pavilion.
