Sport Foils Attempted Robbery - For Now

Sport have played so horribly in three halves against Palmeiras that I've so far been too angry to blog about it, but my spirits were just lifted when Wilson got a cheap stickback off a free kick to even the second match with Palmeiras at 1-1.

Sport went into their two Palmeiras matches needing nothing more than one win to make it highly likely that they would advance to the knockout stage of the cup.

Instead, Sport played terribly at home against Palmeiras, losing 2-0, and spent much of the first half of the away leg down 1-0 after an AWFUL, INDEFENSIBLE, BORDERLINE CORRUPT penalty call by the idiotic and/or dishonest pathetic excuse for a referee.

Given the loss at home, an away draw would be a decent result of Sport here - it would put them three points clear of the two teams below them in the standings with two matches yet to play. That's not automatic but it's very close.

A win would be great, but let's at the very least hang onto this point. It's a big one.

Valeu Sport!
