Rita Garcia Pereira surprised by a Sporting player: a great find | OneFootball

Sporting beat Rio Ave 4-0 this Friday in Vila do Conde, securing their third win in four Liga Portugal matches. Flávio Gonçalves scored one goal and provided one assist, catching the eye of Rita Garcia Pereira.

"A good game from Sporting, who faced a Rio Ave side that still did not look like a team. Special mention for the first half. An unquestionable win, with Flávio Gonçalves - with a goal and an assist - proving to be a great revelation, and Suárez, with a more than capable performance, helping to calm the player, the fans and the Club," the lawyer told Record newspaper.

Carlos Xavier, a former Sporting player, praised Rui Borges' side for the way they controlled the game. "It was a one-sided match, with a very impressive Sporting display. They took their chances and, in the second half, only had to manage the game. It was a well-earned win on a difficult ground, which is always a good sign for future matches," it reads.

The fact that the team kept a clean sheet was highlighted by João Pedro Paiva Santos. "Sporting took to the field to impose themselves, managed to do so, and wrapped up the game in half an hour. It is great to watch Flávio Gonçalves play and make others play. A second half of control and player management. Suárez responded as he should, with goals. It is important not to concede goals and to show this attitude. That is how a squad becomes a championship-winning team", said the businessman.

The Lions will return to action next Friday, September 4, against Nacional. The match, valid for the fifth round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, against João Gião's side, will be played at 8:15 p.m. at Estádio José Alvalade.
