Maciej Rogowski also posted four pictures of Sporting fans inside the Estádio do Dragão. Like the fans back in Lisbon, the Sporting fans pictured were barely visible due to the number of green pyros lighting up the away section. The more zoomed in photos posted by Rogowski showed Sporting fans in masks at the front waving green pyros with flags and banners that said: “Sporting Clube de Portugal”.

A point on the road
Sporting found themselves 2-0 behind against Porto on Sunday, thanks to goals from Evanilson and Pepe in the first-half. However, Amorim’s side hit back with a brace from Viktor Gyökeres in the 87th and 88th minutes.
The Swedish striker has scored 40 goals in 46 games this season, including 26 in Liga Portugal. If Sporting wrap up the title in the next couple of weeks, Gyökeres will become a legend in Lisbon.
