But in the added time of the first half, the international Pablo Sarabia, who has been summoned again by Luis Enrique for the next friendly matches of the national team, scored the tie from eleven meters, after a penalty much discussed by the locals.

The moment of the equalizer was key to straighten out the situation of the visitors who in the second half certified the comeback with the goal of the Portuguese center forward Paulinho, who made it 1-2 in the 70th minute.

And the final result was materialized after 8 minutes of regulation time by the English winger Marcus Edwards.

With this victory, Sporting is placed with 67 points, 3 less than the leader, Porto, who plays on Sunday at home against Boavista.

Ten minutes from the end, the game was paralyzed for a few moments, due to the police charge that the security agents had to carry out in the face of the disturbances that took place in the stands where some bench chairs “blew up”.
