Nuno Diaz was a mirror of contentment. The lion coach was very pleased with the performance of his charges in the match against Candozo with a score of 9: 2, which gave Sporting a ticket to the semi-finals of the Portuguese Cup.
“We played a great game. The players were incredibly serious and showed great seriousness in doing everything well. They can be congratulated on the exhibition and how they managed to increase the result.”
In anticipation of the meeting with Quinta dos Lombos scheduled for 17:00 this Thursday, also at the Multiusos de Sines, where Final Eight Nuno Dias emphasized that with the same attitude as today, Sporting will be closer to victory: “We will approach the duel with Quinta dos Lombos with the same seriousness with which we approached today’s game. If we are at our level, as we have shown for most of the season, I think we will reach the final, which is another of our goals.”
Recall that Sporting is the owner of the trophy after defeating Braga (7:1) in the final of the 2019/2020 season. Last season (2020/2021) the Portuguese Cup was not awarded as the competition was interrupted and then canceled due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
