It was a night of pure drama at Estádio José Alvalade, where 44,666 fans (89% capacity) watched Sporting CP come from behind to defeat Gil Vicente FC 2-1 in Matchday 32 of Liga Portugal Betclic.

The visitors struck first through a Félix Correia penalty in the 26th minute, leaving the Lions chasing the game. The equaliser finally came in the 81st minute, thanks to a composed finish by Maxi Araújo. Then, in the 90+3rd minute, Eduardo Quaresma produced a moment of magic with a long-range strike — deflected on its way in — that sent the home crowd into absolute ecstasy.

With this result, Sporting CP moves level on 78 points with SL Benfica and reclaims the top spot. The two Lisbon giants are now set for a potentially title-deciding clash next Saturday at Estádio da Luz, at 18:00. Gil Vicente FC remains on 32 points, sitting in 14th place.
