Sporting are back at the top of the Portuguese league with a big home win against their title rivals benfica, it was a deserving win I must say, since the sound of the whistle, sporting wanted it more, they looked more dangerous each time they are with the ball, they looked like the Amorim spirit was back with them yesterday, they defended well and also attack purposefully. This win might have a big say in how their season might end. Matches like this always have a say in who is going to be champion by the end of the season
Sporting now now tie with Porto both now having 40points, sporting are just ahead with goal differences, they could have scored more yesterday, Gyokeres could have added to his tally, but it just won’t go in for him yesterday, he assisted the goal that was scored. I really hope sporting can build on this momentum now and win the title because honestly they deserve it.
They managed to return to the top of the standings, but Porto continued to shadow their position, where there was no difference in points between the two teams, and only goal difference. Sporting was three goals ahead of Porto.
in the match between Sporting Lisbon and Benfica, the victory was not because Sporting CP's back line was good and solid enough, so that winning by one goal could bring victory for Sporting CP, because at least from a total of 14 shots launched by Benfica, only 2 shots were successfully directed right at Sporting CP's goal.
Sporting has managed to beat a team that shadows them at the top of the standings, and now Sporting only has to beat Porto for the second time, but the meeting between them in the Portuguese league is still a long way off, but we can see their match in the near future in the semifinals of the Portuguese league cup, precisely on 8/1/25
