Estoril finally broke through in the 84th minute when Costa G. scored from a Jandro assist<\/strong>, reducing the deficit to 2-1<\/strong>. But Sporting CP responded in stoppage time. A penalty was awarded in the 90+6th minute after Carvalho J. handled the ball in the box<\/strong>, and Gy\u00f6keres coolly converted from the spot to seal the 3-1 victory<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
