The Portuguese League is fun to watch again. Good to see Sporting the sleeping giant back.
Portuguese Football 2021-2022
- Thread starter Berbaclass
- Start date
6 yellows now right (4 and 2)
there is absolutely no way Andre almeida is only one year (almost to the day) older than me. He looks about 45
How are we not up 2-0
Why is sporting giving away the possession so easily
Sounds like playing with fire

A tactically brilliant first half by Sporting.
I hope we don’t rue those misses we had
Did the keeper save that
Yes he got a touch to it and tipped it onto the post
Porro Will be playing in one of the top 3 clubs in Spain in the very near future.
Craque

wow
We should be 2-0 up at the half.
Fantastic performance.
I love how we are roughing them up

Paulinho was ahead of the ball and last man… but it was “passed” backwards by Sarabia?

Not sure about that offside tbh. Depends how it’s interpreted I guessPaulinho was ahead of the ball and last man… but it was “passed” backwards by Sarabia?

I'm watching the match on benfica tv, which I haven't done in years, and it's amazing how one sided the pundits are. There's no way sporting fans can watch this with the sound on.
It’s disgustingly bias but then again it is their clubs channel
My biggest fear is that we will probably get a red card based on this referee criteria.
In a big game like this you gotta let the lads play. He gave 2 yellow cards within the first 45 seconds of the game. That’s just absurd.

The first 15 minutes of the second half will be absolutely critical.
Benfica is going to come out swinging and we need to weather the Storm. If we can take the swings Benfica will start to commit in the last 20 and we can capitalize.

Benfica looked good after the goal for about 5 minutes but since then it’s been very one sided. A great save, a marginal offside and a pretty embarrassing miss from Paulinho (the flag went up but VAR would have overturned that) keeping Benfica in it.
I wonder if sporting can keep this physical an approach with such a card happy referee

Feck me.
Another starter injured.
Make shift defence coming now.
I am very very worried now.

Matheus Nunes is fecking brilliant
So I can't watch the game but is this Amorim guy worth the hype?
lovely goal. Benfica were really starting to put the pressure on too
Just seen the issues in Portugal with FFP.
How will that play out and do you think the fines will be paid or clubs banned?
What a miss now by Benfica !!
Yeah sporting are very organized though I'm not sure he's the attacking type we would clamor for at united
3-0
Crazy game. Sporting just so clinical on the break.
Wow that escalated quickly what a game from sporting they buried the game now
I must say very well deserved they had a plan and executed it very well and kept their calm under pressure something which i wished we were able to do more frequently

Absolute tactical masterclass by Amorim.
This without our 2 key players.

Sporting ruthless.
20 year old Ugarte who was given the task to replace Palhinha has been brilliant.
The Star of the show though has been Matheus Nunes. Bloody brilliant performance.

This game could have been 6-3
The biggest compliment I can give Ugarte is I didn’t even notice Palhinha was not playing.
Well that’s annoying. I wanted the clean sheet
Ahhh
I woke up today to the sound of beautiful birds chirping after a gorgeous derby day win

Watch the powerful run by Nunes in the second goal. Brilliant Box to Box player
Expected Sporting to win, tbh. Benfica is very limited in terms of attacking patters. Sporting knows how to create either from direct passing or slow build up.
He was hired to BE Palhinha substitute, but the deal was off and Palhinha stayed.
Ugarte is really a very good CDM, I rate him.
