Sporting CP won 3-0 against Moreirense FC, maintaining good form in Liga Portugal. Luis Suárez was the standout player of the match, scoring two goals and Fotis Ioannidis scored the third. The match was played at the Estádio José de Alvalade in Lisbon, and was attended by around 30,000 fans. The coach Rui Borges made three changes to the starting lineup, with Iván Fresneda, Eduardo Quaresma and Maxi Araújo coming in for Georgios Vagiannidis, Zeno Debast and Ricardo Mangas. The match started with Sporting CP pressuring Moreirense FC, but the visiting team managed to avoid the goal. However, Luis Suárez had several chances to score, including one that was saved by the goalkeeper André Ferreira. In the 24th minute, Suárez dribbled the goalkeeper and shot, but his shot was saved by the post. Gonçalves also came close with a powerful shot that deflected off Suárez, but André Ferreira reacted to stop the goal. Before the interval, Trincão crossed and Geovany Quenda attempted an acrobatic shot, but the first half ended 0-0. The second half started with Sporting CP pressuring Moreirense FC less frequently. The visiting team continued with their anti-football strategy. In the 54th minute, Rui Borges took off Giorgi Kochorashvili and Ricardo Mangas to bring on Hidemasa Morita and Maxi Araújo. Shortly after coming on, the Uruguayan was set up by Luis Suárez's backheel. Araújo took out two defenders at once and shot wide with his weaker foot. In the 69th minute, Gonçalves's well-placed shot tested André Ferreira, who parried out for a corner. Time was running out, but with just over 15 minutes remaining, Trincão was brought down in the box and referee Hélder Carvalho awarded a penalty. Called upon to convert, Suárez sent the goalkeeper the wrong way and grabbed his fourth goal of the season. Fotis Ioannidis replaced Suárez in the 79th minute, and moments later there was a near-perfect counterattack, which ended with Morita passing to Quenda. He teed up Gonçalves, who only failed to score because André Ferreira once again got to the ball. Araújo and Gonçalves also had shots blocked, before Trincão was fouled again in the Moreirense FC box. This time, conversion duties fell to Gonçalves, who doubled the lead. With the victory virtually assured, Alisson Santos and João Simões came on to replace Trincão and Gonçalves, and the Brazilian winger made his presence felt in the 94th minute, providing the assist for Fotis Ioannidis’ first goal for Sporting CP. After the 3-0 win, the team travel to GD Estoril Praia on Saturday at 8:30 pm.
