Sporting win derby 5-1, Rui Borges all smiles | OneFootball

Sporting defeated Oriental 5-1 on Saturday, October 11, in a closed-door preparation match held in Alcochete. It was a rehearsal in which Rui Borges gave competitive rhythm to some of the less-used players who took the opportunity to showcase their skills.

In a match filled with goals, the highlights were Hidemasa Morita (who has a pact with the Club) and Alisson Santos. Both players were outstanding and scored twice in the preparation derby. The other goal for Sporting, which sealed the score, came from an own goal by the Lisbon team.

The Lions currently have the following players involved in international commitments: Rui Silva, Pedro Gonçalves, Gonçalo Inácio, and Francisco Trincão (Portugal); Geovany Quenda and João Simões (Portugal U21); Rodrigo Ribeiro (Portugal U20); Luis Suárez (Colombia); Giorgi Kochorashvili (Georgia); Georgios Vagiannidis and Fotis Ioannidis (Greece); Geny Catamo (Mozambique); Zeno Debast (Belgium); Morten Hjulmand (Denmark) and Iván Fresneda (Spain U21).

Oriental had already faced Casa Pia this Friday, in a friendly at Estádio Pina Manique. The Geese won 3-0 with goals from Miguel Sousa, Kelian Nsona, and Jeremy Livolant. The team led by Bruno Clara, which competes in the Campeonato de Portugal, was once again defeated by a first division team.

Sporting will return to the field only on Saturday, October 18, against Paços de Ferreira. The match, part of the third round of the Portuguese Cup, against the team led by Filipe Cândido, will be played at Estádio Capital do Móvel, at 8:15 PM.
