After a defeat against Athletic Bilbao, Sporting wins 3-0, after also drawing against Deportivo (1-1)

The Sporting women's football team won 3-0 against Racing Power, this Saturday, August 23, in the presentation match to the club's associates and supporters on the South Bank. At the Setúbal Municipal Athletics Complex, the lionesses did not give the opposing team any chances.

At seven minutes, Cláudia Neto shot at the post and, shortly after, Telma Encarnação tested the bar with a shot. The lionesses' striker was close to scoring again at half-time, but again hit the post, this time with a header after a cross from Joana Martins.

In the second half, at 51 minutes, Cláudia Neto crossed from the left and Carolina Santiago appeared at the first post to open the scoring. The second came at 72’, in a quick transition: Maisa's vertical pass and Santiago's finish, at the entrance of the area.

At 83’, Carla Armengol crossed from the right and Madison Haugen appeared at the second post to push for the 3-0. Until the end, Marta Ferreira still shot over, but the result was already made. The second half was more balanced, but the green and white superiority remained.

Before the official start of the season, this was the first victory for Sporting's players. In addition to this triumph against Racing Power, the lionesses drew against Spanish side Deportivo (1-1) and ended up losing, in Alcochete, against Athletic Bilbao (3-1).
