In the first minute, the match already showed that it would be a lot of goals. Trincão opened the scoring after receiving in the area and kicking hard into the goalkeeper’s right corner. The goal does not seem to have intimidated the hosts, who tied after seven minutes, with Rafael Martins.

Trincão, who was on a sunny afternoon, scored his second and broke the tie at 39 minutes. There was still time for Casa Pia to tie the duel again in the first stage. At 45 minutes, Yuki Soma scored the second for the hosts.

The second stage showed that the game would maintain the same intensity as the first. At three minutes, Pedro Gonçalves scored the third for Sporting. However, at 17, Wanderson, who would be expelled just two minutes later, tied the match again.

With the score tied at 3-3, Trincao’s star shone again. The Portuguese player received a cross in the area and took it at first to close the account and give Sporting the three points.
