00:01Not to be completely confirmed as we get underway, Forrest playing left to right in this first half at the
00:10Estadio Algarve and Sporting giving the ball away cheaply and what is a half chance here inside the area, Chris
00:17Ward it's saved on the follow-up it's going to be in the net, Igor Jesus keeps up his great
00:25goal scoring record, that's four goals in four games.
00:30Now, a very soft goal for Sporting to give away, he'll be furious, Igor Jesus just can't stop scoring at
00:44the moment, he won't score many easier than that, really sloppy from Sporting, Chris Ward timed his run to perfection.
00:55Rui Silva with the save, but could only palm it into the path of Igor Jesus, he scored six goals
01:04in the Premier League last season, and he's showing really good form pre-season here, the Brazilian, early lead for
01:10Forrest.
01:15Rui Silva comes, Dumbia, layoff for Zalazar, that's a shot on target from Rodrigo Zalazar, just shoveled away by Matzels,
01:27Dumbia, shot from Dumbia, it's defected away for a corner off the head of Nikola Milenkovic, good strike from Dumbia.
01:38Dumbia, get in the way there, ball bouncing around inside the area, and it's all stopped by Matzels, the Forrest
01:49players were looking for a handball in there somehow.
01:53This time it's in the net though, Forrest unable to keep it out, Inacio denied the first time, but not
02:01the second, and Sporting, back on level terms, after a wonderful save from Matzels to deny the Sporting captain from
02:13close range.
02:19Gonzalo Odacio, leveling the scores, another well-delivered corner kick from Zalazar, perfectly placed header, no chance for Zalazar.
02:37Sporting one, Nottingham Forrest one, Nottingham Forrest one.
02:46Corner kick is prevented.
02:54And has done well to win it back.
02:58And there's Inacio's header away.
03:03Very ambitious effort from...
03:07I was looking forward to seeing Javier Schlager, the Austrian international who's been signed by Forrest.
03:14Offside flag is up.
03:18I thought we might see Schlager in this game tonight, but he played in the earlier game against Portam and
03:24then scored a good goal.
03:25So he's not in the squad for this game this evening.
03:32Let's see from that replay.
03:34Jenny Catamo is well offside.
03:36Like a ball, by the way.
03:37którą, by the way, is against Portam and then scored a win in the company.
03:48Oh, what a ball that was.
03:51Really good delivery from the Uruguayan.
03:53Nobody able to apply a finish.
03:56Super ball into the area though.
03:58So hard to defend when it's between the goalkeeper and the defenders.
04:05I think the presence there of Milankovic was enough just to put Inacio off, a little tough.
04:14Salazar's cross towards the back post. Very well defended that time by Abbott.
04:20Estadio Algarve, perfect start for Nottingham Forest with that goal after two minutes from Igor Jesus.
04:26But Gonzalo Inacio in shot there with the equalizer, a wonderful header on 14 minutes from a corner kick.
04:33And Jesus four goals in four games preseason for him.
04:42Looks like Fresneda is on for Vianidis.
04:54Dumbia helping it into the area.
04:56Did mention in the first half that Oliver Glasner's options on the bench are relatively limited.
05:02Doesn't have the longest subs bench tonight.
05:09McAtee's ball towards the near post.
05:12Wood with a real chance, oh good block on the double there.
05:15From Maxi Orojo.
05:20Drilled out with that left foot of his to Nico Williams.
05:23Williams with the cross on the header.
05:26Coming in from Chris Wood, just couldn't hit the target.
05:29From Wood for that cross from Williams.
05:33This was the double chance for Wood.
05:37Locked on both occasions by Maxi Orojo.
05:45Taking on Abbott.
05:47Goes one way and then the other.
05:49The shuttle!
05:50Just too high.
05:54I myself was grateful to see that one go over the crossbar.
06:03Very direct player.
06:05Rodrigo Salazar.
06:07Only one thing on his mind.
06:09It's a good strike as well.
06:17Fresneda was a little short and Wood here with a chance.
06:20Oh, he's missed it.
06:21What a glorious opportunity that was for Chris Wood to put Forrest
06:25back in front.
06:26An error by the substitute.
06:28Well, Virginia was left a little short by Fresneda's back header.
06:37Goalkeeper still should have cleared that.
06:40Wood probably had more time than he realized.
06:43That's a disappointing finish from the big New Zealander.
06:46Should be 2-1.
06:52A slightly extended holiday again.
06:55A bit like Luis Suarez managing his game time as the ball comes in.
06:58Well claimed by Gerard Virginia this time.
07:02They'll be glad to...
07:05Aina going backwards and he's been dispossessed by Jenny Katamo who has Salazar outside.
07:11Here is Rodrigo Salazar.
07:13Dangerous cross.
07:14First time effort.
07:25Salazar as a lookup slides it through for Dumbia.
07:28Oh, he's done well here.
07:29Dumbia!
07:30That's a smashing goal.
07:35That's a smashing goal.
07:36Very, very well taken.
07:41Isa Dumbia, his second goal for Sporting having scored in the 7-0 win against Transport.
07:4810 days ago.
07:50It was a lovely assist from Rodrigo Salazar.
07:55But Dumbia still had plenty to do.
07:59And he took it very, very well.
08:02Isa Dumbia!
08:04Isa Dumbia!
08:06Isa Dumbia!
08:16Before picking his spot.
08:21Sporting have come from behind to lead 2-1.
08:35Dumbia, 20 million euros signing from Venezia.
08:39But he's the perfect age profile, he's only 22.
08:46Nel needed a better ball that time to Luis Guillerme who'd made a very good run.
08:53Here's Orojo now.
08:55Dumbia once more.
08:56Buzz in the crowd every time he gets the ball.
08:59And a chance for three!
09:00Oh!
09:01So well taken.
09:02The substitute, he's only on the field a few moments.
09:05Raphael Nel makes it 3-1.
09:09Delightful header.
09:13What a lovely ball from Dumbia as well.
09:21Rui Borges must be absolutely thrilled with that.
09:26He might look at it as they analyse the footage.
09:33What a clever ball that was from Dumbia.
09:36Very well taken header by Nel.
09:41Portuguese under 20 international.
09:44Showing international class with that finish for 3-1.
09:52There have been some rumours linking.
09:56Let's see what happens with this course here.
09:59Flapped away.
10:00And blocked by Real Virginia on the follow-up.
10:03To deny Igor Jesus.
10:08For Liam De Lape.
10:12From Chelsea.
10:15Gonsalves.
10:17Back to Nel again.
10:18That's really nicely done.
10:19Oh!
10:19Super goal!
10:22That is quality.
10:29Two of the younger ranks.
10:31Two of the younger ranks.
10:32Showing what they can do.
10:34Second goal of the game.
10:36For Rafael Nel.
10:38Credit as well.
10:41To Flavio Gonzalez for his role in that.
10:51Pointed to where he wanted to play.
10:53And was given.
10:54On a plate.
10:56To Rafael Nel.
10:58And that's slick finishing as well.
11:02Top class football.
11:04For 4-1.
11:06Sporting.
11:07Cruising that.
11:23The save is made by.
11:25In the end.
11:26To deny Pedro Lima.
11:27He's looking for his first ever goal.
11:29For Sporting.
11:43They'll go into their match against Estrella.
11:45Next weekend.
11:47On a high.
11:47To start their league campaign.
11:48It's the full time whistle sounds.
11:50At the Estadio Algarve.
11:52Good night for Rui Borges' men.
11:54Despite a wobbly start.
11:56After Igor Jesus.
11:57Scored after just two minutes.
11:59With two goals in the second half.
12:00From that young man there.
12:01Rafael Nel.
12:03Rounding off.
12:04A 4-1 victory.
12:05Gonzalo Inacio.
12:07And.
12:07Issa Dumbia.
12:08The other scorers for Sporting on the night.
12:10Another good performance from.
12:12Rodrigo Zalazar there.
12:14Dumbia.
12:15With a lovely goal.
12:16And a super assist.
12:17For Rafael Nel's.
12:19Opening goal.
12:20Bellisissimo coming in.
12:22The likes of him.
12:22Jesse Derry.
12:25And Nel in particular.
12:26Flavio Gonzalez.
12:28With his assists.
12:29The signs are good for Sporting.
12:30Ahead of the league campaign.
12:32Nottingham Forest.
12:33Need improvement.
12:35But they'll be well aware of that.
12:36And with plenty more.
12:37Big name players.
12:38Still to come back into the team.
12:39But a final score.
12:41Anastadio Algarve.
12:43On the night.
12:44Sporting.
12:44Four.
12:45Nottingham Forest.
12:46One.
12:47For myself.
12:47Con Murphy and the team here.
12:49It's bye for now.
13:07We'll see you next time.
