Tomás da Cunha followed the Sporting - Kairat match - which ended in a 4-1 victory for the Lions - with several analytical posts on his social media, and one of the names mentioned by the sports commentator was Luis Suárez, the Colombian who he ended up comparing to Liedson.
"Luis Suárez has remarkable cunning to force/capitalize on the opponent's mistakes. In that aspect, he is similar to Liedson. The mobility (between the lines or in space) and the associative sense of Pedro Gonçalves are showing the best paths," he wrote on his account on the platform 'X'.
At the end of the match, Tomás da Cunha gave an overview of the key points: "Sporting allowed more than Rui Borges would have liked, surely, both in transition (less effective role from the midfielders) and due to losses in sensitive areas. In any case, the level of Quenda (now, with a great goal) and Trincão was worth the ideal rout. Virgínia and Quaresma were up to the task."
With this victory – the fifth in seven matches this season – Rui Borges's men thus collect their first three points in the competition. The next game in the international competition is scheduled for Wednesday, October 1st, at 8:00 PM, away from home, against the Italians of Napoli.
The green and white team will be back on the field next Monday, September 22nd, against Moreirense, in a match for the sixth round of the Liga Portugal Betclic. The match against the team led by Vasco Botelho da Costa will be played at 8:15 PM at the Estádio José Alvalade.
