Sporting B continue in rich II Liga form
Sporting B continued their superb II Liga campaign with another convincing win this Wednesday afternoon, beating Ac. Viseu 4-2 courtesy of some deadly finishing and and speed going forward that translated in to one of João de Deus' side's best showings of the season.
A confusing spell of play right at the off saw Ricardo Janota appear to intercept the ball with his hand outside of the area, but Luís Godinho signaled nothing but a corner. The decision could well have taken the wind out of the Sporting B sails, but that proved to be far from the case as João de Deus' charges smartly went about dominating right across the park. It really did look as if Sporting B were in another league, as Viseu struggled to keep a foothold against an Alvalade side that were clearly determined to claim the three points. It was only a matter of time before the ball was in the back of the net and it was Cristian Ponde who obliged in the 10th minute, slotting from a cross by Mama Baldé. Clear chances for Labyad (16’) and again Ponde (18’) followed, denied only by Ricardo Janota's heroics in the host's goal. In fact, Viseu actually managed to draw level, when Yuri converted after a cross by Carlos Eduardo. The goal did little to change the shape of the afternoon and a couple of minutes later Sporting B restored the lead, courtesy of the pace of Podence and the clinical finishing of Ponde.
The first-half certainly started well for Sporting B, but the second was even better, when Francisco Geraldes unleashed an effort from range that ended up in the top corner. Next to tempt the Viseu goal was a superb bit of play between Labyad and Ryan Gauld, which saw the young Scot try an audacious chip. Despite the one-way action, Viseu pulled back another goal through Bura twenty minutes from time, before Francisco Geraldes rounded off the final score in the dying stages.
