The end of the second round of Série B of the Liga Revelação set the common goal of the two groups to win the first victory in the competition. In this way, the balance between the two parties was natural in the first period.
Shooting situations were rare in the first half hour until the final period that proved to be a succession of goals: it all started when Mateus Silva put Portimonense ahead in the 29th minute, sent by Toki Hirosawa on the right.
Soon, at 32 minutes, Helio Varela increased the distances, after he was served by Joao Nobrega a beautiful pass “cut” for his appearance in the area, confirming a seemingly comfortable advantage.
However, everything collapsed in two minutes, which is enough time for Sporting to cancel the two-goal difference, starting with his crack at Nikolai Skoglund, in the 34th minute, with the help of a calculated pass from Rafael Bisogo. Motivated by the goal, Assad headed David Moreira, took part in an offensive operation and asked for an excellent cross from Andre Gonçalves in the 36th minute. However, Portimonense will regain the leadership…
More than two minutes into the second half, Thiago Carvalho (who participated in the first half) was fouled in the area and Joao Nobrega scored the penalty. Soon after… another target. A rebound on Sporting’s defensive line allowed Goga to shoot from the edge of the area, making it 2-4 in the 51st minute. Since then, the Algarve have controlled the game and score well, with a goal canceled by Toki Hirosawa in the 82nd minute.
Thus Portimonense secured their first victory in Alcochete in the 22/23 edition of the Revelation League, while keeping Sporting without any points won (they played their first game in the competition today).
