The outcome did not reflect what happened in Madeira. Sporting went through tough moments, this Saturday, in the trip to Nacional's stronghold, on the third matchday of the I Liga. The lions comfortably imposed themselves 4-1 and maintain, as is, the leadership of the competition, on the eve of receiving FC Porto in the first Classic of the season.
In the Madeira Stadium, the locals surprised at 3′, with a goal from Léo Santos following a corner. Tiago Margarido's strategy suffered a setback with the expulsion, due to accumulation of yellows, of Pablo Ruan at 37 minutes.
In the second half, Pedro Gonçalves fine-tuned his aim and was the protagonist of Sporting's comeback, scoring three goals and signing the assist for Conrad Harder's precise shot.
