Roaring lion the Sporting, overthrew Gilles Vithente and took the top spot! Ruben Amorim’s team prevailed 3-1 in “José Alvalade” for the 12th matchday of the Liga Portugal and taking advantage of the “gela” of Benfica, she found herself in the first place of the standings!
Great turnaround for Sporting, who get exactly what they wanted from the formidable Gioceres who scored twice again and chase Braga’s Banja at the top of the scorers.
In the competitive part, the guests, against the flow of the match, took the lead with a goal by Ruben, but Amorim’s players tied the match shortly before the end of the first half, with an own goal by Pedro Timba.
The hosts monopolized the interest in the second half, with Gyokeres scoring two goals in four minutes (52′, 56′), ending the case-win.
