Sporting holds a deserved 1-0 lead over Casa Pia at halftime, a scoreline that reflects their dominance throughout the first period. The breakthrough came in the 42nd minute when Francisco Trincão found the net with a well-placed shot following an assist from Pedro Gonçalves.
The goal, which was the first of the new league season, was the culmination of sustained pressure from the visitors. Before the deadlock was broken, Sporting had created numerous clear scoring chances, with Trincão, Ousmane Diomande, Morten Hjulmand, Pedro Gonçalves, and Geny Catamo all coming close.
In contrast, Casa Pia offered minimal attacking threat during the first half and will need a vastly improved performance after the break to change the outcome of the match.
