Sporting CP keep adding titles to their showcase in the most successful years in the club’s recent history. After conquering the
Primeira Liga and the
Taça da Liga last year, the green and white squad repeat their result in the cup competition. In the final, played on Saturday against
SL Benfica, they got the victory by a
1-2 score after coming back from the ‘eagles’ opening goal.
Zouhair Feddal,
Dário Essugo,
Diego Callai and
Geny Catamo’s team, all of them represented by
Promoesport, have raised the
fourth Taça da Liga in the club’s record.
The Moroccan center-back played the 90 minutes in the final, being, as always, one of the most important pieces in the defense and the
player with the most responsibilities in the build-up plays of Sporting CP. He has been the footballer with the
most completed passes, precisely 58, on an 89% success rate. Besides, he has won almost all his individual duels and has made a few meritorious defensive actions. His teammates
Essugo,
Callai and
Catamo, who stand out on the academy and are knocking the first team’s door, have usually been called-up and have been part of this new success for the Lisbon.
February will be the most important month of the season for Sporting CP, who will put everything on the line in the Primeira Liga and the
UEFA Champions League. Nine points below
FC Porto, with a game less, they will face two quite easy duels before playing against the leader on February 11
th. On the other hand, Manchester City await on the round of 16 of the top continental competition. Sporting CP will seek to extend their successful streak.
