00:00It's Sporting playing, left to right who get this game underway.
00:08Season 20, 26, 27 underway for these two clubs.
00:15An early touch here for Diaz.
00:19Back to his captain, Ignacio.
00:26See the pitch is a little bit bumpy and rough.
00:29It's not as good as the Sporting players would regularly play on at the Jose Alba, that's for sure.
00:37That's Issa Dumbia.
00:39Ball out wide to Diaz.
00:42Dumbia has been absolutely fabulous in pre-season.
00:46It's looking like a really, really good signing for 20 million.
00:54And Jenny Catamo was the intended target there, but Janusz Stojka got there first.
01:00Stojka, the Romanian, wearing the number 10 for Estrella.
01:08Louis Borges delivered the double the season before last.
01:13That will be the hope again for Sporting this time.
01:21No link.
01:251,005 for the last time Estrella beat Sporting at the Alba, lad.
01:321-0 win for Estrella back then.
01:44Monorek delivering that one towards the back post, just beyond the attacking players.
02:05little nod there from Rashawn 원acio to the free kick taker, rodrigo Salazar.
02:16As Amazard tried to catch out the goalkeeper, the wall did its job.
02:26He scored 28 goals, only conceded three.
02:31So a really positive run into this league kick-off.
02:41There's nobody marking at the back post, that should have been in from Ioannidis.
02:45Great chance, Choresma with the header back across.
02:52Portuguese under-19 international.
02:56Zalazar's free kick.
02:59Here's Jenny Catamo, too high.
03:06.
03:19Slared away, good header from Leandro Antonetti to get that away.
03:25.
03:33Due just caught Jenny Catamo there as he played that ball back.
03:37And Choresma was over to tidy up.
03:42Something nervy moment for Sporting there.
03:47.
03:48Credit to Leandro Antonetti for the pressure he put on to win the ball back in the first place.
03:54.
03:59A reminder to the Sporting players, they can't afford to lose concentration for a moment despite the fact that they
04:05are bossing this game in terms of possession.
04:08.
04:19Diaz has been dispossessed, but the ball has been given away very cheaply to Dumbia.
04:24.

05:03A lovely ball around the corner, and Uranidis is away here.
05:07Gets the shot, oh it's too high, that was a chance.
05:22just organizing his wall as the ball is played to jenny katamo couldn't really do anything with
05:29it there played it with his left foot rather than his right
05:48by me this now jenny katamo
05:57if i need this
06:00it's jenny once more and the header is just over the top that time from gonzalves
06:07it's opening good combination between pionetes and jenny katamo
06:18just too high
06:20from gonzalves
06:31what that this season although if they got one from this match they'd be absolutely thrilled
06:38here goes diaz
06:43nice ball inside to zalazar inside the area but he's crowded out
06:52he's done well it's been a difficult half for him but he's battled gamely
07:00i'm doing it's going to put this ball in the net it's not going to count it i think though
07:11you're just clips in asia for he waited a long time to blow the whistle
07:18so that's gonna be it for the first half when a controversial situation we just had with the way
07:24we're gonna be checking out right that on the on them in time so it's Israel Amador and is
07:29porting Lisbon neil neil at the half time we're taking a short break here on beat sports so we're
07:40just about all set to go it's Estrella who get this second half on the way from Altamira back
07:53towards his own goal here he is former Betis man Quersma completing the clearance
08:06Gonzávez inside it's neatly done here is Gonzávez again no changes for either team at half time
08:15that's a beautiful cross field ball to find Jenny Catamo great ball to Jenny
08:21Zalazar with the shot finds the net what a start to this second half for Sporting inside the first
08:27minute after the restart and Rodrigo Zalazar scores his first goal in the league for his new team
08:39the suspended Maxi Arrojo enjoy that and so did those Sporting fans perfect start to the second
08:49half for Rui Borges side and Zalazar makes the breakthrough 46 minutes in the first of the goals for Sporting
09:08Jenny Catamo with the layoff first time effort from Zalazar sweeping a pass the goalkeeper
09:21what a start to this second half Estrella nil Sporting one
09:47Lorne Patrick
09:52Sarah
09:53after the start to this second half foot from Zalazar
09:53that
09:57Scholes
10:00Zalazar has done well to hold off González-Inaccio
10:04across so it's going to run harmlessly through to Rui Silva
10:15Jeni in the lead up to the goal so the youngster played his part in that Gonsávez
10:30It's been nicked back here by Altamira.
10:34With men over here, sporting.
10:39Estrella getting players back now as Yannicka Tamo has the shot.
10:46Gonsavos dispossessed and a chance now for Zvonarek to clear.
10:52Croatian quickly blocked down by Gonsavos, who's made a good beer.
10:59Jenny Catamo, Pajanidis, making the run outside.
11:04Jenny has a goal himself, oh, good shot.
11:07Fingertip save by...
11:12Right swinger, Gonsavos again.
11:19Jenny Catamo stabbing one through.
11:23They could be in trouble here, but fortunately for sporting, Diaz was there.
11:29Zalazar.
11:33Still going.
11:34Rodrigo Zalazar, the low cross.
11:37It's a perfect delivery.
11:38It's a second goal.
11:40And Fotos Yannicka can say thank you very much to Zalazar,
11:46who put that on a plate for him.
11:49They double their advantage.
11:52And it's a goal and an assist now for Rodrigo Zalazar.
12:00Tap-in finish for Ioannidis.
12:03Probably needed that goal.
12:13Played onside by Schultz on the near side.
12:16As that ball was swept out to him.
12:18Zalazar did so well to go one way and then the other.
12:22Good strength from Ioannidis to get there ahead of Luan Patrick.
12:28It's Estrella nil.
12:31Sporting two.
12:34And Rodrigo Zalazar already starting to repay some of that 30 million euro fee.
13:01Teresma felt that he got a little nudge in the back there from Antonetti.
13:06.
13:26Towards the near post with the tall figure of Anderson was there to head it away.
13:32Just shepherd that out.
13:42Marcus.
13:46And our Marcus has come off second best in that tussle with Rodrigo Diaz.
13:53Throughout the game really as Jenny Catamo takes it away.
13:57And again look good energy from Ioannidis on the outside.
14:02That's his cross.
14:03Cleared away by Chapeau.
14:05Only as far as well.
14:10Jenny's got caught in two minds there.
14:12I think Jenny Catamo between a pass and a shot.
14:16Sporting looking like they're going to make it.
14:1814 wins in a row against Estrella.
14:20Australia those goal opportunities tend to zero.
14:26Says it all really.
14:29Pretty easy night for Rui Silva in the sporting gold so far.
14:37There goes Antonetti.
14:40And finds the net.
14:46Well they're going to have a look at that earlier incident spot.
14:49Leandro Antonetti.
14:51Has drilled that one past Rui.
14:54That Rui Silva has had very little to do in this match.
15:00Was that a foul?
15:01You can see Chorisma stop playing more or less.
15:06Clinical finish from the Puerto Rican international.
15:10Is there enough in that for a free kick?
15:12I'm not sure.
15:14Dior will be having a good look at that.
15:19Leandro Antonetti kept going.
15:21He was shown onto his left foot by Ignacio.
15:26That's a super finish.
15:30Suddenly there is hope for Estrella.
15:47He's remaining on the bench for the time being anyway.
15:59Gana for Marcos.
16:02Gana continued his rock.
16:05Dimpia got the ball.
16:31It's Benny.
16:35He's walked out very positively here for Estrella.
16:38They're streaming forward here looking for a ball into the area to feed off.
16:43It's good, blocked over by Altamira.
16:44You can see the frustration on the face there of Choresma.
16:49Defensive there.
16:52Sporting lost possession.
17:00Anderson, beaten in the air by Zvonarek.
17:03Here's Robinho.
17:10Benning.
17:14Went out off him for a goal kick.
17:20Robinho there, got his pass away though, back to Ruysilva.
17:31Ganda.
17:34Dewey with a good ball to find Robinho in space.
17:38Here's Benny.
17:42Oh, he's forced to save.
17:43Has he?
17:44No, that's gone over the line.
17:46It's in.
17:47It's 2-2.
17:48The substitute.
17:49Benny scores.
17:52And Estrella have drawn level with six and a half minutes to go.
17:58An error from Ruysilva, who really should have kept that out.
18:04Well, when they were 2-0 down, they looked down and out.
18:09Estrella, they've shown real character to get back into this.
18:13And Pepe, the coach, will be thrilled.
18:16The signs were there.
18:17The warning signs were there.
18:28Oh, he'll be so disappointed with that, Ruysilva.
18:33It's a very poor goal to concede.
18:36Clearly over the line here.
18:43There might be some debate as to whether this actually goes down as an OG.
18:48Was that effort from Benny actually going in?
18:51I'm not sure.
18:53One way or the other.
18:58It's 2-2.
19:12Well, that's a real way to announce your arrival at a new club.
19:16A ball through for the run of Marcus.
19:27Might have been a yellow card there for a clear pull of the jersey as Luís Diem was looking to
19:32get away.
19:32Here's Derry now.
19:38Zalazar crosses too close to the goalkeeper that time from Rodrigo Zalazar.
19:44The faces of those sporting fans.
19:47Tells its own story.
19:50It's one of the next delivery.
19:53Left ahead of Anderson.
19:54Here's Suarez.
20:02Now Derry could be away here.
20:05It's been pulled back by Benny.
20:07That's going to be a yellow card this time.
20:10Derry gets a yellow card for his reaction.
20:17No need for Robinho to get involved there at all.
20:19All right.
20:23Bye.
20:30Bye.
20:42Bye.
20:43Bye.
20:44Bye.
20:45Bye.
20:46Bye.
20:46Well, the full-time whistle sounds.
20:48And it's a very good point in celebrations on the bench for the home side.
20:54The introduction of Benning made a real difference.
20:592-0 down with 20 minutes to go after goals from Salazar and Ioannidis.
21:06And what a score that was.
21:09Well, if you're sporting, you wanted to send a message on the opening night of the New League of Portugal
21:14season.
21:14This was certainly not the message that they had in mind.
21:17A 2-2 draw away at Estrella Amadora.
21:21And while it is far too early to draw definitive conclusions from the one game.
