Sporting Lisbon
🎙 Francisco Trincão gives an interview following the triumphant Cup match against Porto (1-0): “I think Porto didn’t want to play and took advantage of fouls in the first half, aiming to stop the game and make it more predictable. In the second half, we played better, scored a penalty, and could have scored more. A lot of time was wasted. We want to win the trophy again, just as we did last season. The rivalry is open, and now we’ll rest because we have plenty of time to think about the second leg.”
❌ Sporting will definitely be without Zeno Debast and Giovanni Kwenda.
