The score reflected a devastating 5-0 in the first 5 minutesall of this, to the jubilation of around half a thousand fans who traveled to Majorca to accompany their team.
Sporting, European champion of the 2019 and 2021 editions plus the runner-up last year when they fell to Barça in the final, He was a clear favorite to stand in the final, and he more than demonstrated it in a first half that seemed very long for Anderlecht, debuting in a Final Four.

The five Portuguese have in their squad the base of the Portugal team that won the World Cup and the Euro Cup, with stars like Zicky Té, Pany Varela or Tomás Paçó; They also have the Italian Alex Merlim and a Spaniard, the former Azulgrana Esteban Cejudo.
The Belgian team endured the downpour as best they could. with 6-0 On the scoreboard, he tried by all means to end the first part with a goal that would give him little hope in the restart. But his rival did not give him truce.
The Anderlecht coach Luca Cragnaz was outclassed on all fronts. Sporting’s incessant pressure, coupled with their technical quality, prevented any hint of a reaction from the Belgians at the restart.
Sporting kept up the pressure in all areas of the track. He attacked without ceasing and defended himself with order without giving his rival any option and giving a warning to one of the rivals you will find in the grand final, Mallorca Palma Futsal or Benfica.
