Leixoes 2 x 1 Sporting

SPORTING faced Leixões last Saturday in the stadium of Mar in Matosinhos, the Lions won the last league match by 1-2 goals

Unhappiness in our visit to Matosinhos, as the Torcida Verde's coach had a malfunction in the turbo at 132 mile south / north of the high way A1.
Torcida's presence was ensured by the the groups of Invicta and Sao Joao da Madeira.

Sporting 2 x 1 V. Setubal

FINALLY POSTIGA!!

The game of the 27th round of the Portuguese League marked Sporting with important events.

Sporting began to lose against the team of Manuel Fernandes (Sporting old fantastic player) 1-0 but Sporting managed to

get around with a goal from Joao Moutinho and...Helder Postiga!! YES! Postiga did it!

The fans had hoped for this goal for longtime as is the first goal of Postiga this season so it was celebrated

with even more euphoria!

This victory doesn't mean only more three points in the league but it also means a place in the UEFA League Europe!

I know we are used to go to UEFA champions League and UEFA Europe League, but as this season havent been so great for Sporting,

we are glad that unless we are going to the Europe League.

This match was also makerd for the Police Raid... they enter in the fanatic groups houses and identify everybody, they're

S. L Merda 2 x 0 SPORTING

Costinha: ‘I demand respect for Sporting’

Speaking from the press room at Estádio da Luz, Sporting’s director of football was on hand to give a few words, while also stating that no other Sporting figure would be talking: “My first words are for the Sporting fans that were here, who supported the team to the fullest right until the end of the game. Other than that, I ask whoever watches this game to pay attention to the tackle from Luisão two minutes into the second half and to compare it with that of Marat Izmailov last week and that of João Pereira in the Sporting-Benfica League Cup game. Rules should always be the same for every team. Sporting Clube de Portugal is a great institution and I demand respect for the Club.”



Carlos Carvalhal: ‘An obvious red card’
The Sporting coach took a moment to analyse the game with Benfica, stating that “the first half was dominated by Sporting, with us controlling the game and having the better opportunities. In the second half, the opposite happened and there effectiveness was decisive. We didn’t finish things when we could have but Benfica did. We have some good chances against a good team, we are on the right track and we played some good football that I am happy with. I don’t like to talk about referees, but we cannot close out eyes to what is happening in Portuguese football: It is easy to send of a Sporting player, but today we saw that it is not like that for everybody. Two minutes into the second half, Luisão could have been shown what was an obvious red card, that has to be said!”

Carvalhal finished off by leaving a “word for the fans that were with us cheering us on during the game. They were very enthusiastic and we thank them for that”.



João Moutinho: ‘Luisão and Izmailov tackles are comparable’

The Sporting captain gave a few words following the clash at the Luz, stating that “in the play in which Luisão went through the back of Liedson when play was stopped, he said he slipped. However, we all saw what happened and Izmailov was sent off for a challenge less serious than that. The two tackles are comparable. Today sums it all up: fouls on Sporting players are not given whereas any touch by a Sporting player is given. It looked as if the pitch was on a hill that the referee was always pushing us down. After that, Benfica grabbed the win. This season has to be seen as a sad one for all of us, but we have to live with that and work to make the future better.”
