Luís Avelãs threw a jab at Viktor Gyokeres in his analysis of Sporting's victory over Estoril, by 1-0. Despite the lions not having their best game of the season, the sports analyst believes that the Alvalade Club was the rightful winner on the night of last Saturday, September 27.

"Without putting on a performance as convincing as we've seen, the lions were the stronger team, who dominated almost the entire game and, yes, the victory suits them well," he said to Record newspaper, also admitting that Rui Borges' pupils were losing steam as the game went on, starting right in the first half.

"We were still in the 1st half and things, which were never easy given the minimal advantage, could have gotten very complicated if Marqués had tied. After the break, Sporting sought the essential, to hold the score, but was far from playing well. Top teams need to be able to win even when they don't play anything special. Sporting had this merit," he added.

Next, Luís Avelãs talked about the performance of the MVP of the match, Luis Suárez. The Colombian forward of Sporting scored again and the journalist believes that he is already making Viktor Gyokeres forgotten: "Gradually he is making his way and no one remembers that a few months ago the lion had a huge dependence on Gyokeres".

The green and white emblem will take the field again only next Wednesday, October 1, against Napoli. The match, counting for the second round of the Champions League, against the team led by Antonio Conte, will be played at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium, at 8:00 pm.
