Ruben Amorim's last match as Sporting manager concluded with a thrilling comeback victory, as his team rallied from a two-goal deficit to triumph 4-2 against Braga in the Primeira Liga.
Substitute Conrad Harder played a pivotal role, netting both late goals that propelled Sporting to a six-point lead over second-placed Porto.
His first goal came in the
Read full article89th minute with a precise low shot from 25 yards, followed by a similar effort five minutes later.
Braga initially took control with a first-half brace from Ricardo Horta, who capitalized on a defensive error and later scored from a tight angle after a deflection off Franco Israel.
After halftime, Sporting showed marked improvement, with Hidemasa Morata scoring from a rebound after a corner hit the post.
Morten Hjulmand then equalized with a spectacular strike from the edge of the box in the 81st minute, before Harder secured the win, allowing Amorim to depart on a high note.
Under Amorim, Sporting has maintained a perfect record in the league this season, winning all 11 matches while scoring 39 goals and conceding only five.
Amorim is set to travel to England on Monday, although he will need a few days to obtain his visa before officially starting his role at Manchester United, where he has signed a contract until June 2027.
His inaugural match with United is scheduled for November 24 against Ipswich in the Premier League.
