Sporting CP B led twice in Olhão before last minute goal split the points

Sporting CP B were held to a 2-2 draw against Olhanense this weekend, after the hosts snatch equaliser in added time.

In contrast to the final stages, the start of the encounter couldn't have been better for João de Deus's side, as Mama Baldé broke through the middle and set up Leonardo Ruiz for a superb chipped finish. Seconds later, Matheus Pereira skilled his way past two defenders and drove a dangerous cross into the box Ruiz came up just short of converting.

Sporting CP B continued to control proceedings and looked the most likely to find the back of the net again. On 21 minutes Pedro Delgado had a good opportunity following a counter-attack, but his host was turned away by the home defence. Olhanense did attempt to rally just before half-time, but Pedro Silva's goal was rarely troubled.

The break wasn't well managed by Sporting CP B, with the Alvalade youngsters opting to fall back instead of pressing Olhananese. The hosts made the most of the opportunity to take the initiative and soon equalised through Cissé. Buoyed by the goal, Olhanense began to throw numbers forward, in the process leaving space open for counter-attacks led by Matheus Pereira. It was precisely from one of the Brazilian's moves forward that Sporting CP B resorted the lead, with a move finished off by Budag.

To give credit to Olhanense, the hosts didn't through in the towel and deep into added time Tiago Barros split the points.
