Famalicão and Sporting CP played out a 1-1 draw in the Primeira Liga, the hosts snatching a point in the 90th minute after Luis Suárez had put the visitors ahead from the penalty spot.

Match Summary

The first half never quite ignited. Neither side found a way through, and the interval arrived at 0-0. Flávio Gonçalves did have the ball in the net in the 27th minute, but that effort was ruled out and did not count. Gil Dias was shown a yellow card as the opening period closed.

After the break Sporting CP kept looking for an opener without finding one until late. In the 81st minute Luis Suárez converted a penalty to put the visitors in front. Famalicão were then reduced to 10 men when Roméo Beney was sent off in the closing stages. The response still came. In the 90th minute Gonçalo Inácio turned the ball into his own net, and the hosts were level.

When they finally went ahead from the penalty spot, it looked enough against a side that had created little. Roméo Beney's red card should have made the finish even more comfortable for the visitors. Instead it framed a chaotic ending in which Famalicão still found a way to share the points.
