Sporting visits Boavista this Monday in a match that could give them the isolated lead of the championship in case of victory. The lions have the same 22 points as Benfica and FC Porto, but could end the night isolated with 25, three more than their most direct opponents in the fight for the title of national champion, or with 23, in the event of a tie. , which still means a point of margin for the rivals.
The task is not easy: the teams occupy sixth place in the championship with 15 points, they already beat Benfica at home this season, in the first round, and if they beat Sporting they will surpass SC Braga in fifth place. .
Rúben Amorim started Geny Catamo on the right side of the defense, relegating Esgaio to the bench, and returned the goal to Spaniard Adán, who had been on the bench this week, against Raków. After ten minutes, the lions’ coach had already seen Pote close to the goal when he launched a low and tense free kick that goalkeeper João Gonçalves took out of his box, but also the threat of Geny Catamo, who cut in from the right . He shot with his left foot at the side of the goal, although many shouted a goal because of the optical illusion.
The home team, which had already tried its luck with Salvador Agra in the first ten minutes, only managed a sustained response in the 16th minute, when Tiago Morais cleared Bozenik and the Slovak, fallen to the left, quickly shot wide. .
