Sporting CP took a giant step towards the play-off final of the national futsal championship by beating Fundão 6-4 in the first game of the semi-finals, which took place this Friday afternoon in Fundau.
In an exciting game that took place in an almost crowded pavilion and where there was no lack of support from the home team, it was the beirões who opened the scoring through Nema three minutes later. The reaction of the lions was fierce, and even before the break the green-and-white emblem managed to unfold thanks to goals from Pani Varela and Valtinho.
The extra stage was even more spectacular, with Fundão going all out to try and beat the national champions and Iuri Bahia signed for a draw. Esteban Guerrero returned the lead to Sporting but Felipe Leite made it 3-3 soon after. Alex Merlim scored the goal that put Nuno Diaz’s team ahead, but the misfortune of Joao Matos, who scored an own goal, left it all tied again. The captain of the lion immediately justified himself and made the score 5-4, and Gitta, after the final whistle, also entered his name in the protocol.
So Sporting have the advantage and can secure their presence in the play-off final as early as this Sunday at 15:00 if Fundau wins again, this time at Pavilão Joao Rocha in Lisbon.
