Luis Suárez left frustrated by Rui Borges' decision at Sporting | OneFootball

Luis Suárez ended up showing his dissatisfaction at the moment he realized that Rui Borges had decided to substitute him in the 79th minute of the game, after he had scored the opening goal in Sporting - Moreirense. The player was replaced by Fotis Ioannidis.

The truth is that, despite having found the back of the net with the penalty won by Francisco Trincão, the Colombian striker appeared wasteful and nervous throughout the match, with his frustration levels rising as time went on and he failed to score again—even hitting the post with the goal wide open.

At the end of the match, Suárez admitted that he ended up missing several opportunities, but remained focused on his path at Sporting: “As a striker, I always want to score and when you have consecutive chances and don’t score, what you have to do is stay calm. Keep working, not to get an individual goal, but to help the team, and if another chance comes, take it. It was a penalty and I took it. Another shot hit the post? The important thing is to get the win and stay on this path, now it’s time to think about the next match.”

This season, wearing the green and white stripes, Luis Suárez – valued at 8 million euros – has played eight matches. The Colombian from Sporting has participated in all official games at the start of the season: five in Liga Portugal, one in the Champions League, and another in the Super Cup. In the 600 minutes he has played, the striker has scored four goals and provided three assists.

The green and white team will be back on the pitch next Saturday, September 27, against Estoril, in a match for the seventh round of Liga Portugal Betclic. The game against the team led by Ian Cathro will be played at 8:30 p.m. at the Estádio António Coimbra da Mota, the opponent’s home ground.
