Scored against Sporting but still complains: clearly a sending off... | OneFootball

Léo Santos complained again about the expulsion in the Nacional team, in the match against Sporting. The central defender of the islanders scored the home team's goal, just three minutes into the match, and two days after the end of the match, he still shared some words about that match.

"We started very well, scoring a goal early, the team behaved very well during the first half, creating difficulties for Sporting", began to explain Léo Santos, about the start of the match between the lions and Nacional, counting for the third round of Liga Portugal Betclic.

The central defender continued, with some complaints about the key play of the game: "Clearly the expulsion hindered our performance, as we were left playing with one less player. I believe we have many good things to take from this game and take advantage of for the rest of the season".

"Regardless of the opponent, playing with one less player is always more difficult, although we still created some opportunities, but it's complicated to play with 10", shared Léo Santos, still about that moment when Nacional was reduced to 10 units in the game against Sporting.

Finally, he reflected on the importance of the goal he scored, on a personal level: "It's always good to have the opportunity to play and I've been working for that. I was very happy with the goal, that's what I work for on a daily basis. I think I can take advantage of the aerial ball well. I had that opportunity and managed to finish with a goal".
