2-1 in a game! Let Sporting CP reach the top: away win + 7 rounds unbeaten, Benfica is 4 points behind

On November 9, in the 11th round of the Portuguese Super League, Sporting CP was a guest against Santa Clara. As a result, with a controversial goal, the defending champion defeated the opponent 2-1 away from home. After scoring 3 points, Sporting CP once again topped the list.

In this game, Sporting CP almost lost points in an upset. Only 5 minutes into the first half, Santa Clara had already scored the first goal, giving the home team a 1-0 lead. Before half-time, Gonsalves seized the opportunity and scored with a header, and the visiting team tied the score 1-1.

In the second half, Sporting CP attacked wildly, but unfortunately they kept squandering opportunities. In stoppage time, the Sporting CP players kicked the ball out of the baseline during the attack, but the referee gave them a corner kick. This was definitely a misjudgment. Afterwards, Kunda passed the ball into the penalty area. Yurman grabbed the point and finally headed the ball into the goal. With this controversial goal, Sporting CP finally staged a decisive victory, reversing the opponent 2-1 in the away game and scoring 2 more points.

After the game, Sporting CP players reveled on the court to celebrate this hard-won victory. In fact, if it were not for an obvious misjudgment by the referee, Sporting CP would most likely not have scored 3 points. This victory also helped Sporting CP overtake Porto and reach the top of the Portuguese Super League. After this game, Sporting CP has been undefeated in the league for 7 rounds. They scored 28 points in the first 11 rounds and are now ranked first.

Regarding the victory of Sporting CP, the title rival Benfica immediately expressed their dissatisfaction. They questioned why the referee made such an obvious misjudgment, allowing Sporting CP to score 3 points. It's no wonder Benfica is so excited, because they are currently 4 points behind Sporting CP. Even if they can defeat Casabia at home, Benfica will not have the chance to overtake Sporting CP. If Sporting CP loses points in this game, Benfica will at least have a chance to move up to second place.

‍This season, the situation in the Portuguese Super League is still one of the top three competing for the championship. Among them, Sporting CP is the defending champion, while Porto is in the spotlight. Benfica is now under great pressure. With four consecutive losses in the Champions League and on the verge of elimination, Benfica cannot afford to lose in the Portuguese Super League. Now Mourinho has no room for losing points in the Portuguese Super League. If Benfica fails to win the championship in the Portuguese Super League, then this season will be a complete failure. I'm afraid it will be difficult for Mourinho to continue coaching the team. Benfica's top management may not be willing to give him time. Therefore, Mourinho must lead the team to win the championship this season. Next, I hope Benfica can regain its best form and strive to stage a counterattack and win the championship in the Portuguese Super League!
