João de Deus after his side's loss in Vila das Aves, after an unbeaten run of six matches
Six matches later, Sporting B's run in Ledman LigPro was finally brought to an end, courtesy of a 3-0 defeat by Desportivo das Aves.
“We are frustrated. It was a heavy defeat. We were the better sid at the start, but after that some things conditioned the game and our opponent was better than us. We have to carry on working to turn around for our next match", said João de Deus in a post-match conference, adding a word on the two red cards brandished to his side: "I can't say much. I have learnt from the 30 day suspension that I took that we can't say anything. The two penalties look fair, I doubt doubt that. I do wonder why a player can't come back onto the pitch while another is being seen to by the doctor, but that is up to the referee to decide as he sees best."
