Sporting starter unhappy after being subbed off by Rui Borges | OneFootball

Luis Suárez scored the first of Sporting’s three goals in their victory over Moreirense, in a match valid for the sixth round of Liga Portugal Betclic. However, the player ended up showing visible dissatisfaction at the moment he was substituted by Rui Borges, right after opening the scoring (79').

The truth is that, despite having found the back of the net from the penalty won by Francisco Trincão, the Colombian striker appeared wasteful and nervous throughout the match, with his frustration levels increasing 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 chances, but remained focused on his journey 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 just to get an individual goal, but to help the team, and if another opportunity comes, take it. It was a penalty and I took it. Another shot off the post? The important thing is to get the win and keep following 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 featured in every official game at the start of the season: five in Liga Portugal, one in the Champions League, and another in the Super Cup. In his 600 minutes on the pitch, the striker has scored four goals and provided three assists.

The green and white club will return to 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 Estádio António Coimbra da Mota, the opponent’s ground.
