Sporting avoids first loss in the last minutes (2-2)
Sporting drew, this Wednesday, 2-2 with Belenenses SAD in Alvalade, in the 28th round of the League.
Colombian Mateo Cassierra, on 13 minutes, opened the scoring in favor of Petit’s team, responding in the heart of the area to the tense cross by Silvestre Varela from the left. At 42 ‘, Henrique’s lack of Nuno Mendes in the penalty area left João Mário with the possibility of drawing a penalty but Kriticiuk’s huge defense held the visitors’ advantage.
In the second half, Cassierra took advantage of Adán’s childish mistake and made it 2-0 at 54 ‘, further complicating the lion’s life, who would end up reaching equality: at 83’, Coates headed the back of the net after crossing from Nuno Santos and a new penalty, this time by the hand of Tiago Esgaio in the area, was taken advantage of by Jovane Cabral to, at 90 + 6 ‘, avoid Sporting’s first defeat in the championship.
Sporting remains the leader, now with 70 points, but could see FC Porto reduce to four a difference that was from 10 to the middle of February. Belenenses SAD climbed to 10th place, with 31 points.
