Sporting stars on target in World Cup win

The Portuguese national team won the Beach Soccer World Cup this week, after beating Taiti 5-3 in the final.

With the Alvalade stars Jordan, Belchior and Madjer leading the show as usual, the Portuguese opened with a fantastic goal from the Sporting captain. Belchior was next to strike, with a 6th minute goal that gave Portugal a 2-0 lead at the end of the first period.

Rui Coimbra, also a Sporting player, made it 3-0, before Taiti rallied to bring the scoreboard back to 3-2. Bruno Novo restored the two-goal cushion, before Taiti struck again to make it 4-3 going into the dying stages. Up stepped Alan to round off the 5-3 win, in what was a fantastic performance by Sporting’s players in the Portuguese national shirt.
