Sporting beat Torreense, but had to suffer a lot. The victory was only guaranteed after the final horn. The lions started the championship with a victory.
The game started with both teams trying to inaugurate the marker. At 5 ‘, Paulo Major was close to the first goal, but Bernardo Paçó defended with quality, avoiding the leonine disadvantage.
Who does not mark, suffers – and that is what happened. In a perfect triangulation between Bernardo Paçó, Diogo Santos and Bruno Pinto, Sporting opened the marker at 11 ‘.
The answer came shortly thereafter: at 14 ‘, Gabrielzinho hit the corner and romada, headed, tied. Everything seemed too easy for the Torres Vedras team. However, in the attack, the lion was not so friendly: at 16 ‘, he marked again, in a quick ball circulation from left to right, completed by Diogo Santos.
In the last minute of the first half, Sporting increased the advantage. Wesley released a side replacement and Taynan appeared to make the third goal. Everything seemed too simple in the first half for Nuno Dias’s team.
In the second part, the game gained emotion. In the first minute, Diogo Santos lined and made the Leonine advantage even more comfortable. Everything indicated that the result was closed. But in just seven minutes, Torreense scored twice: Tintin, at 23 ‘, and Nicolás Tomé, at 30’, rekindled the hope of the home team.
Wesley gave the lions again, marking at 31 ‘. Still, Sporting never seemed to have the game fully controlled. At 35 ‘, Tomás Paçó lost the ball and left Nicolás Tomé isolated to reduce to 4-5.
Already on top of the final horn, the Torreense even came to the draw, but the goal was invalidated for being pointed out after the final whistle.
