THEhe covers of newspapers in the national sports press this Monday clearly highlight Sporting’s defeat against Académico de Viseu, 1-2, at Estádio de Alvalade, in a match counting for the ninth round of the I League.
There are reports of a “disaster”, a “pink nightmare” and even that “Borges loses the house”, after an unexpected defeat in front of their fans, which saw the lions remain nine points behind the lead, and could be four behind Benfica.
