Sofia Oliveira lavished praise on Luis Suárez, following the latest match of the Lions against Famalicão (2-1) last Saturday, September 13. The CNN Portugal commentator says she is liking "too much" the first performances of the new forward of Sporting.

"Luis Suárez did not score in all games, but the performance level was always there. I like it too much", she wrote on social network 'X' (former Twitter). Gustavo Sá opened the scoring for Famalicão at minute 17′. Pedro Gonçalves restored the tie at minute 25. In the second half, Luis Suárez took advantage of the rebounds in the area of the Minho team to give the three points to Sporting at minute 65′.

On a hot streak, the player thus achieved the best scoring start in his career, surpassing his previous personal best, which dated back to the first seven games in 2019/20. On the other hand, the 27-year-old Colombian helped to break a sequence of 10 consecutive games without Famalicão losing at home.

The love story between Sporting and the now 'number 97' started some time ago, more specifically in February, that is, six months ago. As soon as they realized that Viktor Gyokeres' departure in the summer would be inevitable, the Lions began to look for alternatives.

This season, with the green and white striped shirt, Luis Suárez - valued at 8 million euros - has played six matches. The Sporting Colombian has participated in all official matches at the start of the season: five for Liga Portugal and another for the Supercup. In the 461 minutes he has been on the field, the forward has scored three goals and three assists.
