Sporting have a secret weapon that strikes when no one expects it | OneFootball

Sporting continues to accumulate points in the final stretch of games, scoring late goals. They have now scored 16 goals at the end of matches, with eight of them scored up to the 90th minute and the rest during injury time.

The best attack in the Primeira Liga now belongs to the team led by Rui Borges, with a total of 56 goals scored in the 22 matches played, and the collection of late goals has helped these numbers. Luis Suárez is the top scorer for the lions in the championship with 19 goals, four of which came after the 75th minute (against Moreirense, Arouca, Nacional, and Porto).

On the other hand, Moreirense is one of the teams that suffers the most during the same period. Therefore, the team from Moreira de Cónegos is the perfect victim for Sporting, having conceded nine goals in the last 15 minutes of the game in the Portuguese championship.

With only five goals scored 15 minutes from the end, it is in the defensive chapter that the Cónegos have faltered the most. Between the 75th and 90th minutes, the team led by Vasco Botelho da Costa conceded seven times and also suffered two goals during injury time.

It should be noted that the green and white team will return to the field next Saturday, February 21st, against Moreirense. The match, counting for the 23rd round of Liga Portugal Betclic, will be played at 6:00 PM at the Estádio Comendador Joaquim de Almeida Freitas, in Moreira de Cónegos.
