Live / Sporting lose in Arouca and are 12th behind Benfica… with 11 league games played (1-0)

End of the game! Arouca beats Sporting 1-0 and the lions are 12 points behind leader Benfica in matchday 11

Coates manages to win with a header, deflects well but Arruabarrena saves for a corner. The next minute, Pote hits the post.

Armando Evangelista also exhausts the mixes, with the exits of David Simão and Dabbagh for the entrances of Uri and Mújica

Rúben Amorim put Coates at the forefront of the attack, a solution that has already been successful in the past

Porro arrived just over half an hour from the end but he is already Sporting’s top scorer
