League Europe: Sporting vs At. Madrid 2 - 2

Sporting drew against Atlético Madrid (2-2) and finished their campaign in League Europe.
The Argentinian international Aguero made all the difference in two shots that scored two goals, and decided the match's outcome.

Sporting took the field rather limited on defense, a lot because of Tonel and Grimi's absences, both punished, and Carriço, still without rhythm.
Then last minute, Izmailov missed, for disciplinary reasons.

Against this background, coach Carlos Carvalhal had to bet on a new pair of central defenders, Polga and Caneira.
Grimi took the place of Pedro Silva and Pereirinha to Izmailov.

But Atletico Madrid neither gave the team time to think, as after three minutes broke the deadlock.
Antonio Lopez managed to cross and Aguero was much faster than the central defenders, and hit Rui Patricio.

The reaction of Sporting happened on 19 minutes, by Saleiro( another good match), was the bottom line and crossed to the Liedson's head entrance.

But after 33 minutes, Aguero has signed an excellent solo effort, "left kidney" to Caneira and Polga, and hited again Rui Patricio's goal.

However, over the range, Miguel Veloso pointed a free-kick, and Polga, that touched lightly the ball tied the game.

In the second half, Sporting risked everything, came Vukcevic ( who was very committed) and Matias, but the 'Leo' team failed to reach the goal. Only Saleiro thanks De Gea to a spectacular defense for a corner.
