Luis Suárez arrived in Lisbon with the demanding task of succeeding Viktor Gyökeres, and his first season has already carried considerable weight. The Colombian opened the scoring against Lens, a goal that also took him to the top of Sporting’s Champions League scoring list.
Issa Doumbia settled the contest late on, sealing a controlled away victory for the Lions. Sporting now move through the early European weeks with a perfect record and with Suárez rapidly establishing himself as a central figure in their new attacking era.
