Sporting, never change
Artur Soares Dias had a great game, controlled it from the start to finish!
Hopefully Moreirense gets red next game so benfica has a chance 🙏
Benfica full of plastic fans that’s for sure…stadium is like a library until they score surprise surprises… they will do nothing this year they are shit
Very entertaining match! jesus. Fairs to Sporting for sticking with their guns even with 10, think still had more possession at the 70 minute mark. Respect to Inácio for taking the red card as it is
Joao Neves was great, António Silva pushing him over after the equalizer is the kind of spirit this team needs more, instead of droping their tools, specially in European games…
