Miguel Veloso in the Sporting warm-up at Alvalade. This was before the Champions League game Sporting 2-5 Barcelona, 2008. It was Matchday 5, Nov 26, 2008. Unfortunately I'm noticing a pattern with Sporting when they're losing by more than 2 goals with big clubs, they end up a committing a foul and giving the opponents a penalty and scoring an own-goal.
It happened for in Bayern M 7-1 Sporting. (Penalty foul on Klose, own goal by Polga.
It happened in this game too Sporting 2-5 Barcelona. Own goal this time by defender Caneira. At 2-3, Caneira met a ball in the area and clipped it over his own keeper and into the net via the crossbar to put the visitors two ahead once again. This time Rui Patricio got sent-off for committing a foul on Bojan. That meant a penalty for Barcelona. Sporting had to first replace Rui Patricio with the 2nd choice goalkeeper, Tiago. Tiago reached for the ball but couldn't stop it.
