O Académico Viseu venceu o Sporting por 2 a 1 neste domingo (25), no José Alvalade, pela nona rodada do Campeonato Português, e chegou à quinta vitória seguida na competição. Os donos da casa, que tinham 18 pontos, perderam pela primeira vez nas últimas cinco partidas.
Os números mostram o roteiro: o Sporting teve 71% de posse de bola, 11 escanteios contra zero e 27 finalizações — o adversário deu apenas nove chutes. Mesmo assim, quem abriu o placar foi o Viseu, aos 24 minutos, com João Guilherme completando a assistência de Robinho.
Aos 47, o VAR entrou em cena: um pênalti para o Sporting foi revisado e a arbitragem concluiu que não houve infração, mantendo o placar.
Na etapa final, o Sporting empatou aos 62, com Luis Suárez completando o passe de Iván Fresneda. A resposta foi imediata: aos 74, Soufiane Messeguem serviu João Guilherme, que marcou o segundo dele e selou a vitória.
Com 17 pontos, o Viseu é o sexto colocado; o Sporting segue com 18, em terceiro. Na sexta-feira (30), os donos da casa recebem o Casa Pia e, na terça (3), pegam o Shakhtar pela Champions. No domingo (1), o Viseu joga em casa contra o Rio Ave.
