Luis Suárez earns Colombia start v Australia after Sporting spell | OneFootball

Luis Suárez was a starter in Colombia's 3-0 victory over Australia, from Tuesday night to Wednesday morning. The Sporting player - who was managed in the last few matches for the lions - ended up not scoring in the match and was substituted before his country was ahead on the scoreboard.

The three goals of the game were scored only in the second half and in the final minutes. James Rodríguez opened the scoring with a penalty at the 76th minute, before Luis Díaz (89') and Jefferson Lerma (90'+3) sealed the result.

Suárez was substituted around the 70th minute, with Rafael Santos Borré coming on in his place. Richard Ríos, from Benfica - who was once on Sporting's radar - also started and was substituted a minute earlier, with Gustavo Puerta coming on.

Now, Suárez will return to Sporting. The Colombian international is expected to arrive on Thursday, November 20th, to begin preparations for the match against Marinhense. The lions' match is scheduled for Saturday, the 22nd, at 6:00 PM.

This season, wearing the Sporting jersey, Luis Suárez – valued at 22 million euros – has played 17 matches: 11 in the Liga Portugal Betclic, four in the Champions League, one in the Portuguese Cup, and another in the Cândido de Oliveira Super Cup. In 1,182 minutes, the forward has scored eight goals and provided two assists.
