Sporting went into the break losing to SC Braga (2-0), in the 11th round of the I League. The big highlight of the first 45 minutes was the defensive solidity presented by the warriors, who did not give the lions the slightest space to create danger. Furthermore, Ricardo Horta was at a great level.
This is the first time that Amorim’s team is losing in the I Liga 2024/25.
The main highlights of the first part:
Minute 20 (SC Braga Goal)
Goal by Ricardo Horta! Roger gets up in the area, El Ouazzani still combs the remaining ball towards the second post but Gabri Martínez doesn’t dominate, Debast’s relief ends up at the feet of Ricardo Horta who doesn’t waste it and opens the scoring. The move was still subject to VAR, but Luís Godinho confirms its legality.
Minute 23 (Pote injured)
Sporting’s number 8 tried to catch the ball aerially, overstretched his muscle and injured himself. Pote immediately threw himself to the ground and even had to be replaced by Geny Catamo.
Minute 45 (Horta Encore)
João Moutinho makes a great recovery in midfield, launches Bruma and the Portuguese international isolates Horta who doesn’t shake in Franco Israel’s face.
