Tomás da Cunha reveals what's missing for Sporting's first-choice 🟢⚪ | OneFootball

Sporting defeated Marseille, 2-1, in a match valid for the third round of the Champions League. Tomás da Cunha conducted his usual analysis of the Lions' game through his account on the platform 'X' (formerly Twitter) and this time, he once again addressed what Luis Suárez still lacks to make the leap.

"It was a game of happy circumstances for Sporting. The performance level is explained by the fluctuations of the team's backbone. Even so, Inácio led the reaction and impact from the bench (Quenda might not have appeared where Catamo finished). Suárez gives a lot, lacks efficiency", summarized the sports commentator.

Before that, Tomás da Cunha had already commented on Sporting's entry into the game, which resulted in Marseille's only goal in the match, stating: "Sporting had an aggressive start and caused several errors in OM's exit. The play of the goal is of a brutal execution level (top European team, in offensive transition) and changes the reality. From then on, little clarity to manage attacks and not give away the ball. Igor Paixão flies".

With this victory – the ninth in 13 matches this season –, Rui Borges' team rises to the 12th position in the league phase of the Champions League. The Lions now have six points in three matches played so far in the millionaire competition.

The green and white emblem returns to the field next Sunday, October 26, against Tondela. The match, counting for the ninth round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, against the team led by Ivo Vieira, will be played at Estádio João Cardoso, at 18:00.
