Luís Martins side continue recovery and claim second consecutive win
Sporting CP B's last win away from home was way back in November, but Luís Martins' side's revival took another important step this weekend with a win in Cova da Piedade.
First team names André Geraldes and Ryan Gauld were drafted in along with Matheus for Ledman LigaPro matchday 29 and, together with Gelson Dala, Sporting CP B looked extremely comfortable going forward.
Piedade's star was Dieguinho, troubling down the left wing on several occasions and making sure that André Geraldes earned his pay.
As the half-time whistle sounded it was the hosts who had most shots on goal, but Sporting CP B's well organised defence rarely looked under threat.
The second-half finally saw Luís Martins' side find the back of the net. Ivanildo came up close after the Piedade keeper mistimed his break off the line, but it was Mateus who opened the scoring (55'), after a brilliant pass from André Geraldes.
Sporting CP B's midfield really clicked into gear as time ticked over, before Leonardo Ruiz (65') closed off the final result following a cross from Matheus Pereira.
