João de Deus sent off, but happy with his side's 3-1 win

João de Deus saw the first red card of his career this Wednesday. However, with spirits high after seeing his side win for the five outings, the Sporting B coach proved willing to speak with the press at the final whistle. "I think I owe an apology, because I am a father of two and I was sent off. I asked if it would be worth us coming out for the second-half and I want to speak about what happened, because it is the first time in many years that I have been sent off. I accept that I was sent off, but I don't except that Tiago (Sporting B goalkeeping coach) was", said the Alvalade boss.

Although without their coach on the sidelines, Sporting B scored twice in the second-half to close out a 3-1 win. “It wasn't only in the second-half that we should have been ahead by two goals. In the first-half we also had the best chances to score. Daniel scored and I think he would have had another one, but he was stopped by an opponent in a debatable situation. In the second-half we showed more quality and it is normal that Sporting B's players are better than Atlético in terms of quality", affirmed Deus, going on to finish: "The difference between the first and the second-half was that we played some more serious stuff."
