Watch the highlights of Sporting v Porto (Video) | OneFootball

Sporting lost this Saturday, August 30th, 2-1 at home to Porto in the fourth round of Liga Portugal Betclic. In the second half, the opposing team scored two goals when nothing seemed to predict it and managed to take all three points from Alvalade.

The Clássico began with a scoring chance right from Porto’s kickoff, as Borja Sainz hit the post. The Lions responded in the 9th minute, when Luis Suárez received a throw-in from Ricardo Mangas and curled a shot just wide of the visitors’ goal.

Up to halftime, the highlight was when Geny Catamo, set free at pace by Iván Fresneda, drove into Porto’s box and was brought down by Francisco Moura, but referee João Gonçalves waved play on. At the end of the first half, the score remained unchanged.

The second half started with Sporting dominating and pinning their rivals back. However, against the run of play, Porto managed a goal out of nowhere, with Luuk de Jong (61’) finding the net. Francesco Farioli’s team scored again immediately after, this time through William Gomes (64’).

The green and white goal came in the 74th minute: Gonçalo Inácio played Ricardo Mangas through, who tried to set up Conrad Harder, but Nehuén Pérez put the ball into his own net. There was still time for a shot over the bar from Morten Hjulmand and a few more attacks near Diogo Costa’s area, but the result stayed the same.
