Iván Fresneda stars as Sporting CP beat Casa Pia 2-0

Iván Fresneda left Casa Pia with two assists and an 8.94 rating as Sporting CP won 2-0 away in Casa Pia vs Sporting CP. He set up Pedro Lima for the 13th-minute opener, then helped finish the game off with a first-time lay-off that led to Geny Catamo's stoppage-time strike.

Fresneda's right-side influence

The best way to read this result is through Fresneda's output on the right flank. He created four key passes, supplied both goals and was the highest-rated player on the pitch. That is a strong night for any midfielder, let alone a right-back operating as Sporting's main attacking outlet.

A Bola's ratings desk described him as a creative engine on the right flank, noting his accurate passing and duels as well as the two assists. The first came early, when he set up Pedro Lima in the 13th minute. The second came in stoppage time, after he laid it off first time for Catamo's run from deep.

Sporting's goals came from different moments

Pedro Lima gave Sporting the early lead and kept testing the goal throughout the match. He played 76 minutes, had six shots and put three on target, so the opener sat inside a broader attacking threat rather than a single clean chance. Catamo then finished the job in the 90+4', coming off the bench for 28 minutes and scoring with his only goal of the night.

There is also a small note around Luis Suárez in A Bola's coverage, which said his scoring run ended after 10 consecutive games. That line is not needed to explain the result. Sporting were already in control by then, and the decisive detail was the supply from Fresneda rather than any drought at the other end.

The cleanest takeaway is straightforward. Sporting got two goals, both created by Fresneda, and his final ball was the difference in a match that never drifted far from their control.
