Draw in Lisbon derby postpones renewal of title for Sporting de Geny Catamo

Sporting de Geny Catamo drew with Benfica on Saturday (10), in a match relating to the 33rd round of the Portuguese championship at the Luz stadium in Lisbon, Portugal.

In a game in which the Mozambican footballer started for Rui Borges' team, the lions drew one against the eagles, thus postponing the crowning of the Portuguese Premier League champions until the last matchday.

The game started with pressure from Sporting, so much so that in the fourth minute, Francisco Trincão scored after receiving a pass from Gyökeres to make it 1-0 in favor of the green and whites, a result that guaranteed Geny's team the renewal of their title as national champions, This result lasted until the end of the first half, which wasn't very pleasant for Bruno Lage's pupils, who left without a shot on goal.

The Eagles came back more focused and determined to apply the famous saying “we're in charge at home”. In a move that involved a lot of struggle and persistence, Aktürkoglu took advantage of a hard-fought move by Pavlidis and equalized the contest when the clock ticked down to 63 minutes, a result that remained until the end of the match.

With this result, the two clubs remain tied on 79 points, with Sporting having the advantage due to the number of goals scored. Benfica will now face Sporting de Braga at the Braga Municipal Stadium, commonly known as “A Pedreira”, while Sporting Lisbon will face Vitória Guimarães at the José Alvalade Stadium on the 34th matchday of this soccer event.
