Luis Suárez joins exclusive Sporting group, catches up with Gyokeres | OneFootball

In his first season with Sporting, Luis Suárez continues to stand out as one of the team's main figures. In the 3-0 victory against Tondela, the Colombian forward opened the scoring and was prominent in several dangerous plays, earning him a place in the golden pages of the lions.

With this goal, the 'number 97' reached seven goals in the Liga Portugal Betclic, scoring for the fifth consecutive matchday. In doing so, he equaled Pablo (Gil Vicente) and is only behind Pavlidis (Benfica) in the list of top scorers in the championship.

The Colombian international also joined a select group of players who have scored in at least five consecutive games for Sporting in the 21st century — names like Viktor Gyokeres, Francisco Trincão, Pedro Gonçalves, Luiz Phellype, Bas Dost, Islam Slimani, and Jardel, who also left their mark in the club's scoring streaks.

This season, wearing the green and white stripes, Luis Suárez – valued at 22 million euros – has played 14 matches. The Sporting player has participated in all official matches at the start of the season: nine for Liga Portugal, three for the Champions League, one for the Portuguese Cup, and another for the Super Cup. In the 996 minutes he has been on the field, the forward has scored eight goals and provided two assists.

Sporting will return to the field on Tuesday, October 28, against Alverca. The match, part of the League Cup quarter-finals, against the team led by Custódio, will be played at the José Alvalade Stadium at 8:15 PM.
