Nigerian born table tennis player, Aruna Quadri on Sunday helped his Portuguese club Sporting to retain the Portuguese Cup after beating ADC Ponta do Pargo 3-0.
Quadri won the first match against Enio Mendes.
Portuguese international Diogo Carvalho increased the lead for Sporting with another win over Congo’s Saheed Idowu and the partnership between Bode Abiodun and Joao Monteiro completed the rout for Sporting as they defeated Idowu and Jide Ogidiolu.
Quadri, who joined Sporting two seasons ago, has been instrumental in the team’s dominance of the Portuguese League. He also helped the club become the first Portuguese team to feature in the European Table Tennis Union Champions League – making it to the quarterfinal of the championship.
The 29-year-old said the win would help the team’s confidence ahead of their Champions League quarterfinal tie later in the week.
