Sporting B rediscover winning form

Sporting B rediscovered their winning form this Wednesday with a convincing 3-1 victory against fellow Lisbon side Atlético. It was the Alvalade midfield that particularly stood out over the 90 minutes: Ryan Gauld managed to key passes, while Francisco Geraldes and Kikas created another.

Sporting CP needed just 11 minutes to open the scoring, when Podence finished off an excellent pass from Gauld. Atlético then drew level against the run of play courtesy of Cephas Malele, a few minutes after Cristian Ponde could have extended his side's lead from an excellent chance on goal. Half-time arrived with the sides deadlocked, but João de Deus' side finally ran away with the result in the second-half. Domingos Duarte rubber stamped an excellent performance with a goal in the 66th minute after a free-kick from Francisco Geraldes, before Betinho came off the bench and netted his side's third after two just minutes following another deadly pass from Ryan Gauld.
