Luis Suárez joins exclusive Sporting club, catches up with Gyokeres | OneFootball

In his first season with Sporting, Luis Suárez continues to stand out as one of the team's main figures. In the 3-0 victory over Tondela, the Colombian striker opened the scoring and was prominent in several dangerous plays, earning him a direct entry into the golden pages of the Lions.

With this goal, the 'number 97' reached seven goals in the Liga Portugal Betclic, scoring for the fifth consecutive matchday. In this way, he equaled Pablo (Gil Vicente) and is only behind Pavlidis (Benfica) on the list of the league's top scorers.

The Colombian international also joined a select group of players who have scored in at least five consecutive games for Sporting in the 21st century — names such as Viktor Gyokeres, Francisco Trincão, Pedro Gonçalves, Luiz Phellype, Bas Dost, Islam Slimani, and Jardel, who also left their mark in the club's goal-scoring streaks at Alvalade.

This season, wearing the green and white stripes, Luis Suárez – valued at 22 million euros – has played 14 matches. The Sporting player has participated in every official match at the start of this season: nine in Liga Portugal, three in the Champions League, one in the Portuguese Cup, and another in the Super Cup. In the 996 minutes he has played, the striker has scored eight goals and provided two assists.

Sporting will return to the pitch on Tuesday, October 28, against Alverca. The match, counting for the quarter-finals of the League Cup, will be played at Estádio José Alvalade at 8:30 pm, against the team led by Custódio.
