Sporting quietly won at home over Boavista on Sunday evening (3-0), on the occasion of the twenty-fourth day of the Portuguese League. A meeting marked in particular by the stunning goal of Nuno Santos, who opened the scoring with a deft header.
Jewel alert in the Portuguese league. During the reception of Boavista (3-0) for the 24th day, the sports winger Nuno Santos delighted the crowd at the Jose Alvalade stadium with a very impressive goal to open the scoring. As we played in the 17th minute, the 28-year-old took advantage of a deflected ball to recover leather with a left-foot scarf shot, rather than securing the inside of the right-foot, in the penalty area. A very impressive gesture that left Boavista goalkeeper Rafael Bracalli behind.
