João de Deus brought in four under-19 stars for the game (Abdu Conté, Bruno Paz, Jovane Cabral and Bubacar Djaló), in addition to new faces Gelson Dala and Merih Demiral.

 

Gelson put Sporting CP B ahead after just five minutes with a calm finish. Bilel and Pedro Delgado were also looking dangerous in attack, while down the other end Jug was let off the hook by some poor finishing by João Mendes after the Sporting CP B keeper failed to deal with a cross.

 

No other real chances materialised before half-time, with the tale of the rest of the action being the sending off of Mera for a hard foul on Jovane Cabral.

 

Although down a man, Famalicão came out strong in the second-half and managed to equalise through Diogo Cunha (55').

 

Sporting CP B continue in the lower half of Ledman LigaPro, having not turned in a win for 10 consecutive matches.
