Sporting lose 1-0 at Famalicão, could fall six points behind Porto | OneFootball

The Sporting U17 team lost to Famalicão 1-0, this Sunday, March 15, in a match counting for the seventh round of the U17 Championship Qualification Phase. After two consecutive wins, the Lions returned to losing ways.

In a match played at the home of the Minho side, the home team managed to block the intentions of the Alvalade club and the score remained goalless until halftime.

In the second half, the green and whites kept searching for the 1-0 and recorded 19 shots, compared to just four from their opponent. However, a lack of efficiency ultimately justified the result. The hosts made the most of their chances and scored the only goal of the match in the 66th minute.

With this defeat – the third in 26 games this season – Pedro Pontes’ men have 16 points and are in second place in this phase. Porto is first with 19 (one game less). The next match is scheduled for Sunday, April 12, against Vitória de Guimarães, at 11:00 AM, at Campo Gémeos Castro.

The team fielded by the Alvalade club consisted of: Afonso Redondo (Goalkeeper), Salvador Fortuna, Mário Almeida, Alexandre Rosado, Francisco Cabeçana (C), Rodrigo Nogueira, Francisco Simões, Afonso Marques, David Almeida, Vitor Conceição, and Martim Ribeiro.
