Sporting B slip to 3-0 defeat on II Liga matchday 26

Sporting B slipped to a 3-0 defeat in Faro this weekend, on II Liga matchday 26.

Despite the final result, it was actually the team from Alvalade who made the better start to the encounter. Podence pulled a stop out of the Farense keeper in the 8th minute, before Rafael Barbosa saw a shot deflected wide and Rúben Ribeiro was also denied by the Farense goalkeeper.

However, it was the hosts from the Algarve who proved the most effective in front of goal and after Pedro Silva saved from a shot by Felipe Barros, Thomas Agyri opened the scoring seven minutes before the break.

João de Deus switched Ryan Gauld for Labyad at the break, before rolling the dice with the substitution of Ivanildo Fernandes for Cristian Ponde, but it was Farense who were doing the damage in the final third. Osama Rashid netted a brilliant effort in the 75th minute, before Rambé rounded off the result in added time.

The result leaves Sporting B in 10th with 36 points.
