Sporting CP B continue spectacular revival to tally fifth straight win

Sporting CP B have turned their revival into five straight wins, this time with Leixões falling victim to Luís Martins' side in a 2-1 win in Estádio do Mar.

Martins has tallied an incredible 16 out of 18 points, opening up a six point difference between Sporting CP B and the relegation zone.

Ricardo Esgaio, Ryan Gauld and André Geraldes were once again brought in as reinforcements and Sporting CP dominated from the off, but it wasn't until the 58th minute that the ball was first in the back of the net. It was Rafael Barbosa who struck, after being set up by Ricardo Esgaio. The Leixões boss Daniel Kenedy responded with the introduction of Bruno Lamas and the substitute leveled on 81 minutes.

The magic of the substitutes' bench wasn't over yet and Jovane Cabral, who Luís Martins had brought on in the 79th minute, took just five minutes to score and secure the three points.
