Sporting is giving no chance to any of their prosecutors in the Circuito Nacional de Futebol de Praia, a brand new league taking place in Portugal with historic club teams involved. With 4 games gone by so far, the Leoes top the table thanks to their brilliant and unstoppable beachsoccering. Not in vain, the white and green squad counts on stars such as Madjer, Bruno, Jordan, Belchior or Duda, among many other international players.
Benfica and Vitoria Guimaraes keep on the run, though, with three victories on their account. Indeed, in the last matchday, Sporting inflicted a severe victory on the White Angels. Jordan, Bruno Novo and Duda, two goals each, lead the smashing attack by the Lisbon side, who laid the foundations of their win in the very first minutes.
Up to eight top Portuguese clubs are taking part in this exciting adventure, which is to be played in a round robin format. Together with the three giants Sporting Clube, Benfica and FC Porto, teams such as Vitoria Guimaraes, Sotao, Naval, Varzim and Vitoria Setubal are offering a great spectacle, and promise to fight till the end for Sporting’s privileged place.
