Lucas Martinez was man of the match, scoring four goals

Oliveirense managed to qualify for the Final Four of the Portuguese Cup by beating Sporting 5-1, highlighted by Lucas Martínez’s poker.

The home team opened the scoring in the opening minute of the match, through Lucas Martínez. Sporting responded in the final stretch of the first half, when Ferran Font continued with the ball and found the unmarked João Souto who immediately equalized the duel. Still, the Argentine scored twice with a great individual play. Alone, he surpassed Nolito in marking and shot with power towards Ângelo Girão’s goal.

Everything changed in the second half. Oliveira de Azeméis’ team increased their lead with a great shot from Diogo Abreu at the edge of the Lions’ area, but the Alvalade club had the opportunity to reduce it after Franco Platero brought down João Souto. Rafael Bessa took responsibility for the penalty, but shot over.

The Argentine striker would punish the 10th green and white foul when confirming the hat trick and in the last minutes of the duel he went alone against the opposing goalkeeper and with his fourth goal, he sealed the final result of the match.
