Review
This was the second of two games played today, after a different lineup had already beaten Portimonense 2-1 earlier in the day. We took the lead with another Igor Jesus goal after just 2 minutes, before Sporting equalized on the quarter-hour. The flood gates opened on the hour though, as Lisbon scored three more times in the last half-hour to give us our first pre-season defeat.
