The… good loss happened on Sunday (11/2) in the context of its 21st “turn”. Primeira Liga.
Initially, in the big derby of the competition, the Sporting broke up 5-0 her Braga in Lisbon. A “deafening” result, which the “lions” built on the two quick goals they achieved with Trincao (8′) and Quaresma (18′).
Ruber Amorim’s team had the mentality and continued to be superior in the second half. Striking in the final stretch, with Jokeres (71′), Braganza (73′) and Santos (85′), gave dimensions of a huge triumph to its dominance.
In fact, she was not only the 7th win in a row in the Leaguebut it also coincided with her loss of grades Benfica.
Specifically, Roger Schmidt’s total left two points (2-2) at its headquarters Guimaraes or better save the grade at 90′ thanks to Cabral’s goal. The hosts took the lead twice (35′ Pen. Thiago Silva, 61′ Andre Silva), with Rafa Silva temporarily equalizing in the 40′. However, playing with less than 64′ due to a straight red on Borevkovic cost them, with the Eagles equalizing in the final.
So now the two Lisbon teams co-exist at the top with 52 points.
It is worth noting that Guimaraes was the one against whom Sporting had also left their last points, knowing the away defeat (3-2).
