The Sporting CP goalkeeper Antonio Adan Garrido is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 209 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.
Sporting CP had fun at their own home (Estádio dos Barreiros) last time out, beating Benfica 1-0. Matheus Nunes scored. Ahead of that match was the victory versus Boavista at their stadium, the result 2-0.
