Amoah sees red as Vitoria Guimaraes hold Doumbia’s Sporting Lisbon

Vitoria Guimaraes played a 2-2 draw with Sporting Lisbon in Thursday’s Primeira Liga clash, with Joseph Amoah getting sent off.

The Portuguese topflight returned on Wednesday after over two months in a hiatus owing to the outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic.

Heading into the encounter, Guimaraes had recorded straight wins in their last three outings and were gunning for the scalp of the 18-time Portuguese league champions.

However, they conceded first in an empty D. Afonso Henriques Stadium as Sporting Lisbon took an eighth-minute lead through their Slovenia import Andraz Sporar.

In the 23rd minute, Amoah got into referee Carlos Xistra’s books for a needless tackle, albeit he assisted Joao Teixeira for his side’s equalizer nine minutes later.
