O Sporting garantiu vaga no final four da Taça da Liga de Portugal, a Allianz Cup, ao derrotar o Marítimo por 2 a 1 nesta terça-feira (27), no Estádio José Alvalade, em Lisboa. O grande destaque foi o brasileiro Pedro Lima, de 23 anos, revelado pelas categorias de base do Palmeiras, que marcou os dois gols da equipe leonina.

O meio-campista abriu o placar com uma cabeçada precisa e voltou a balançar a rede no segundo tempo, desta vez em finalização de esquerda. O Marítimo ainda descontou com Butzke, após passe de Igor Julião, lateral que teve passagem pelo Fluminense, mas não conseguiu evitar a eliminação.

A vitória chega em um momento importante para o Sporting, que atravessava um período de forte pressão. O técnico Rui Borges vinha sendo alvo de críticas da torcida após uma sequência de resultados negativos.

Antes do confronto pela Allianz Cup, os lisboetas acumularam derrotas dolorosas: para o LASK, por 3 a 2, na Champions, e para o Acadêmico de Viseu, por 2 a 1, pelo Campeonato Português. Além da instabilidade recente, o Sporting ocupa apenas a terceira posição da liga nacional, com 18 pontos — quatro a menos que o Benfica e nove abaixo do Porto, que lidera com folga a competição.

As semifinais e a final da Taça da Liga de Portugal serão disputadas em partidas únicas, em janeiro, no Estádio Municipal de Leiria.
