Sporting lose 2-0, Benfica clear to clinch the title | OneFootball

The Sporting women's football team lost to Torreense 2-0 this Sunday, March 22nd. In a match corresponding to the 14th round of the BPI League, the green and white team suffered another setback, after the victory against Marítimo in the previous round.

Playing away from home, despite the lionesses having more ball possession, it was Torreense who tipped the balance of the match with a set-piece. At 37 minutes, Jenna Tivnan headed the ball into the back of the net, capitalizing on a ball placed by Catarina Pereira.

In the second half, which was marked by few clear chances for both teams, it was indeed the team from Torres Vedras that scored again. At 90+4', Paloma Lemos, from outside the area, shot powerfully leaving no chance for Anna Wellmann to save.

With this defeat - the fifth in 29 games this season - the team led by Micael Sequeira occupies the second place in the National Championship with 28 points. Benfica remains in first place with eight more points than the Alvalade Club (36).

The green and white emblem now turns its attention to the 15th round of the BPI League. The next match for Sporting is scheduled for Sunday, April 5th, at 11:00 AM, against Braga, led by Marwin Bolz, at the Aurélio Pereira Stadium in Alcochete.
