Caught the last 10 minutes. Hector Herrera won it for Porto with a rocket in the 90th minute.

Impressive result for Porto, shades of Kelvin in 12/13 seeing a late goal like that. I would imagine that is game over now, but after seeing that Belenenses result the other day who knows what might happen.

A group of around 50 people forced their way into Sporting Lisbon’s training centre on Tuesday and assaulted players and staff.

Portuguese television channel RTP said that around 50 intruders, who had covered their faces to avoid being identified, interrupted team practice and assaulted a number of players and staff. They also caused damage to a changing room.

The club confirmed the incident, issuing a statement condemning “acts of vandalism and the attacks on [our] athletes, coaches and professional staff”.

Dutch forward Bas Dost, who has scored 34 goals for the club this season, reportedly suffered cuts to his head in the attack. Jorge Jesus, the team’s head coach, goalkeeper Rui Patrício and midfielder William Carvalho were also targeted, according to reports from newspaper O Jogo.

“Sporting is not this, Sporting cannot be this,” the club statement added. “We will take all steps to establish responsibility for what has happened, and we demand the punishment of those who have acted in this absolutely regrettable manner.”

The Portuguese league also condemned “the violent acts [that] the players and coaching staff of Sporting were subject to today. The perpetrators of these incidents are not fans of football, they are criminals.”

Sporting missed out on a Champions League place last weekend after Patrício’s late error led to a 2-1 defeat at Maritimo, allowing bitter rivals Benfica to leapfrog them into second place.

Half of the team wants to terminate their contracts, maybe it's the time to poach gelson from them?

Never have I seen such an embarassing situation in any football club as I have yesterday with SCP.

So so bad, it's been coming though, the President has been turning the fans against the players and Manager for years, he seems like he really likes the club but his behaviour is not fit for running the club, he is not level headed at all and says some mental things, I believe he blamed last nights events on other clubs.

Some of the aggressors have been identified as JuveLeo members (one of the ardent supporter bases of SCP) so I doubt some of the players want to stick around, to make it worse this is before a cup final for the Portuguese Cup when the club has already won a trophy earlier this season, so they could get two domestic cups and this still happens, it's pure mental behaviour from this lot!

On the flipside, a massive demonstration quickly occured last night outside Alvalade (Sporting's Stadium) by proper supporter condeming the behaviour of these 50 psychos and showing solidarity towards players and staff, hope they stick around like, as everyone in footie fanbases knows, behaviour of a few doesn't represent the fanbase overall.

Shocking events either way, they also injured Bas Dost, their best player and top league scorer I believe... wtf.

What happened this week is one of the most surreal and shameful incidents I have ever seen in football. Bruno de Carvalho is a disgrace and has set the tone for this madness. His "Crime is a reality we have to deal with" comments after were jaw-dropping.

The team have had a decent season and even though not qualifying for the CL was disappointing for them, but the reaction of BdC to everything makes everything seem permanently chaotic. To be honest I've actually gained some respect for Jesus for managing to hold things more or less together though this. Still, unless BdC leaves this week I would expect to see a lot of the team and management leave in the summer.

Ricardo Pereira's off to Leicester. Is he a good signing?

Interesting that it is Puel of all things that has drawn him to Leicester. I guess he isn't get sacked anytime soon

Anyone decent worth nabbing from Benfica? They always seem to have an eye for talent (Yes, I know, Markovic)

Do you have a source for this? Nothing on Sporting's site or Twitter. Talk was earlier they were considering it and Patricio wrote a letter requesting that his contract be tore up, but it was going to be a legal minefield

After finishing in a slightly disappointing 3rd place (13 points behind winners Benfica), Sporting Lisbon end the season on a high winning the Portuguese Cup

They Porto in the Final; 5-4 on penalties, after extra time finished 2-2.

Well into to ex-Red Seb Coates - still playing and going strong for Sporting, plus he scored Sporting's 4th penalty

And it seems Felix is gone for Atletico de Madrid. 120M€ ??

I dream with the day Benfica can keep one of his kids more than 1 season in the main team.

And for how long can they keep saying that the money is the problem?
Talisca, Jovic and Jimenez were on loan and Benfica had already made 80M€ with them this market.

There scouting & academy staff must be brilliant, however some of the loans they’ve allowed shows someone isn’t a great judge of talent.

100 million would be incredible business on a teenager, even in this era of mad transfer fees I can't believe that. A club like Atletico paying that sort of money on someone who's played one season in the Portuguese league. No disrespect like.

I bet 3/4 years down the line he'd happily move to Real or Barca.

Honestly this is just Jorge Mendes being a football evil genius/gangster

Has his fingers in so many clubs, selling a teenager who has only played HALF A SEASON and wasn't capped by his nation until recently for the amount mentioned is pure insanity even in today's inflated market, in the inflated market he's worth something like €30M I'd say... Renato Sanches vibes all over...

Actually feel pretty bad for him, hope he becomes big like and very good as it would benefit the national team but I can only feel bad because these kids have "advisers" who clearly aren't advising them on best career moves but instead on lining their own pockets via inflated fees and their commission of said fee.

At Atletico he's going to be expect to deliver on day 1 with a price tag like that, I don't see it happening from what I've seen of him at Benfica.

Just read that Kazuyoshi Miura is currently on loan at Portuguese second division side UD Oliveirense until the end of the season from Yokohama FC.

He's 56 years old, older than Jurgen.

Interesting year with Diogo Costa, Gonçalo Inácio, António Silva, Diomande, João Neves, Viktor Gyokeres (played last year in Championship) and apparently is the next big thing... Unfortunately a market in the Jorge Mendes pocket.

In terms of coaches Amorim has shown potential and in the future will be in the Premier League and Conceição probably in Italy when his temperament is more tolerable.

Sporting Club 2 - 1 Benfica. Scored the winner in injury time. Top of the league, 4 points clear with a game in hand.

Vamos (or whatever the Portuguese equivalent is) Amorim!

They don’t say Vamos in Portuguese, they say Nandos.

“Nandos Amorim!”
