Sporting CP B tally fourth consecutive Ledman LigaPro win

Sporting CP B have clearly found their form after a difficult spell in Ledman LigaPro. This time Freamunde were the victims, with Sporting CP B turning in a 2-0 win at the Sporting Academy.

Motivated by a win against Académico de Viseu that pulled the Alvalade youngsters out of the relegation zone for the first time in two months, Sporting CP B dominated from start to finish. The first chance on goal came after 11 minutes, when Rafael Barbosa carried possession forward and set up Leonardo Ruiz. However the striker was only able to blast over the bar. Freamunde responded, but Pedro Silva proved up to the challenge and did well to defend against Rui Rainho's chipped effort.

Leonardo Ruiz was brought crashing down for a penalty just before half-time, but Pedro Delgado shot over the bar from 12 yards to keep the game level at the break. 

Sporting CP B pushed the pace at the restart and chances soon followed. On 55 minutes Esgaio broke away down the left and threw in a cross that Radael Barbosa turned on to the cross bar. Ten minutes later Ryan Gauld picked out Bilel with a superb pass, but the final touch was off target. Insisting in attack, Sporting CP finally took the lead, when Pedro Delgado fired in after some scrappy defending following a corner. Freamunde tried to rally and the game looked to be heading for a nail-biting finish, before Esgaio dribbled the full length of the pitch and put away a cool finish five minutes before time.
