In the Egg Capital, the Lion almost went out with a rooster

Sporting Clube de Portugal's Futsal team had to work hard to beat SC Ferreira do Zêzere. It's true to say that, in the Capital of the Egg, the Lion almost went out with a bump.

The Lions got off to a good start (after four minutes they were leading 0-2, with goals from Sokolov and Tatinho). But Ferreira do Zêzere responded soon after the break, with Djaelson reducing the lead to 1-2. And the surprise came in the 32nd minute, when Rúben Carrilho made it 2-2.

It was then, right at the end of the match, that Alex Merlim (a brace) and Taynan scored to give Ferreira do Zêzere a 5-2 win.

This win takes Sporting CP to second place in the league, three points behind leaders SL Benfica (the lions have one game in hand).

Next Saturday, November 9, Futsal will return to the João Rocha Pavilion to face Dínamo Sanjoanense at 20:30.
