Match report

Sporting B secured a 2:1 victory over Farense in the fourth round of Liga Portugal 2 on Sunday at CGD Stadium Aurelio Pereira. The hosts took the lead through Mauro Couto before Derick Poloni equalised from the penalty spot for the visitors. Rafael Nel then struck a late penalty to complete the comeback.

Couto put Sporting B ahead in the forty-fourth minute, but the visitors were not deterred. Poloni converted a penalty in the sixty-eighth minute after a controversial incident that saw a goal cancelled by VAR earlier in the half. The match tilted towards drama when Claudio Falcão received a red card for Farense in the eighty-fourth minute.

And here's the thing — the turning point came late. Nel scored from the spot in the ninety-fourth minute to restore Sporting B's advantage. The visitors responded with urgency, but a second red card for Rafael Nel in the final seconds ended any hopes of a late equaliser. Three yellow cards and a red followed in the closing moments.

The statistics tell a different story from the result. Farense dominated possession of the ball and registered more attacks, yet Sporting B were more clinical with eight shots on target compared to the visitors' five. The hosts also had three corners to Farense's two, suggesting sustained pressure despite the visitors' higher attack count.

By then, the table reflected a clear gap between the sides. Sporting B sit top of Liga Portugal 2 with twelve points from five games, having lost only once. Farense remain in sixth place with seven points, their record of two wins and two losses showing inconsistency since the season began.
