Leo roar in the Portuguese Cup
Handball beat ABC and is in the quarter-finals
The handball team of Sporting Clube de Portugal won, this Saturday, ABC by 40-30 and is in the quarter-finals of the Portuguese Cup.
The Lions burst into the game, with the first goal being scored by Mamadou Gassama in an extraordinary steal. The play only stopped at the bottom of the opposing nets.
Sporting CP kept the game aggressive and with art as well: Carlos Ruesga, in 5-3, scored a goal as only he knows how to do.
The emblem of Alvalade began to distance itself from ABC with good goals and great saves by Yassine Belkaied. The 21-year-old goalkeeper was like a wall in response to the Braga attack.
Five minutes from the end of the first half, the scoreboard showed the quality of the match with 17-13 and Carlos Ruesga being the top scorer with five goals scored. Francisco Costa, with beautiful shots, was also unstoppable and the game went to halftime with 20-14 on the scoreboard.
Lions also entered match response gas, Lions also no match response gas, but also no green and white ABC response gas res. However, nothing that shook Sporting CP, which followed at full steam. Carlos Ruesga continues to have a special highlight also in the second half, continuing to stand out as the top scorer.
Also noteworthy are the young Cubans Hanser Rodríguez and Ronaldo Almeida, who made their debuts and soon scored goals for the Leonino handball main team. Coach Ricardo Costa launched reinforcements in the second half, when pivot António Machado, 17, returned to play for the senior, scoring two goals.
